That bracket is too thin for comfort, and I don't think it would be safe or pass tech if they spotted it. And I hear ya I was thinking the same thing before I purchased them. Get them hahaha, Once you receive them you'll be happy you bought them. After 2 years send them in to Simpson during winter time to get them re-certified. If you can wait till the weekend I can take some pics for you I'm home Saturday night.

Can I just take the bolt on brackets off and wrap them? Or do I need to order wrap on style?

The belts don't get thrown out in 2 years. You send them out for re-cert.

I'm not too sure on that, IIRC I've seen some with the belt sewn so you can't take the mounting tab off and some where you can.

It only goes into a Y if you choose the "v" style bolt in where theres only one mounting point.

Good, I felt bad for posting wrong info about them being able to be re-certed. I'm hoping they offer this belt for a long time. So I only have to replace the drivers every 2 years, and just leave the pass one as is.
