Those bolts scare me. They hurt enough hitting them bouncing around off-road, I'd hate think what they could do in an accident.
My solution was to put a bit of roll cage padding on the top of the B pillar so that you can't hit them. You still feel it when you hit, but nowhere near the pain from hitting the unprotected B pillar, or worse, the bolt.

Yep, bloody painful, I've often wondered if anyone has been killed by a belt to the temple from the seat belt bolt.
I was going to use some polystyrene foam, but it's a once use only proposition.
Just came back from wreckers with 3 samples of caps but they are not wide enough to fit https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...018/04/845.jpg
I think I must be too short (5’7”) for this to be an issue in the 40+ years I have been driving series/Defenders. Never come close to whacking my head.Quote:
