Retractor Seat Belt Clearance Issue

Trying to bend the new ones is likely going to destroy them. To do the twist, it would seem you would need a press brake to do it correctly as it is on an angle.

The new casing seems to be two parts that were sonic welded or glued together over the anchor and operating mechanism.

The factory ones seem to be a complete case with no seams.
So, it seems that they sewed the seams? Lol
