Need help using stock seat belt w/ Sparco seat

I decided not to have the TC roll bar in the backseat, need the backseat sometimes...
I was told not to be self-fish and drive the 2-seater around. Laughing
So I took out the roll bar, and I was using the Sparco harness with that the roll bar before.
Now I don't have the harness and the roll bar, I noticed it's really difficult to buckle in with the stock seat belt equipment.
The main reason is that the front buckle is really short and the Sparco seat is wider than stock.
Do you guys have any suggestion that to allow me to buckle in easier with the stock seatbelt?

I was thinking maybe perhaps use the rear seat buckle - has more slack than the front buckle.

Found this in another thread:
I wonder how he got the buckles up that far up, mine doesn't make it up like that.

I'm not quite following.

I'm talking about the seat-belt buckle is being too low when using an aftermarket seat.

I am the owner of the car pictured above. I have had custom seat mounts made for the seats to which the stock seat belt buckle attaches. Also, I dont know what Sparco seat you have, but my seat may not be as wide so there is more room on the sides.
Hope this helps
