Stock seatbelt with bucket seat

Anyone know where i can get a flexible seat belt buckle that will fit through one of the side holes in a fixed bucket seat to allow the waist part of the seatbelt to restrain me tightly? I have purchased a few different types but i can’t find one that the S13 seat belt will fix into. A seat belt extender would work as i could run a bolt through the male side but i can’t find one for a S13.

The stock buckle being a fixed metal type runs next to my seat rather than through the hole so it doesn’t grip me tightly.

Can't you use one of the rear bits that bolt to the floor? Works on an S14.

No the S13 front and rear belts have different buckles.

It might be a bit of a faff, but you can fit S14 seat belts (popular swap in the US where the S13 came with automatic seatbelts) which would mean you could use the rear belt strap like I do.

Actually, they are... I use my rear buckles (with soft belt between buckle and bolt eyelet) for my front bucket seat. Works like it's meant to be there.
That's EUDM s13, maybe it's different for UKDM..?
