Riley,
Since the wires have spade lugs on the to slip onto the swtiches, I'd
suggest that you by a package of male and female spades, some wire, and
a roll of electrical tape. Cut the extension strips off the roll of wire
and SOLDER a male and a felmale spade to the wire. Do NOT, mearly try
and crip them. I've been chasing electrical problems on several of my
previously owned cars. Most of the problems come back to the fact that
the crimps aren't tight and the wires are pulling out of the spades.
Now all you have to do, is pull one wire off the switch, plug the male
end of your extension wire into it, and plug the female onto the switch.
You won't have to worry about getting the wires mixed up or anything!

I don't understand the connection between the seat belt bolts and the
1/4 glass. They are seperated by about 4' and have nothing in common.
As to removing the seat belt bolts, good luck. It depends on how badly
your car is rusting. On 887, I broke 3 Torx sockets trying to undo the
seatbelt bolts. I finally had to cut them out. It took me several
hours for each one!

I don't suggest painting the floor boards. They are supposed to be
natural fiberglass. If you paint them with a flat black you will loose
points in a show (if you care). If you want to protect the floor boards,
I'd suggest cleaning them up and either applying another coat of fiberglass
resin (which is what I'm doing) or paint them with clear POR-15 (which is
what George Malaska is doing).
