Default selt belt auto stop not working

Hi
my 1986 Chev Van T30 (school bus with a van front ) 350 cu I 103,000 original miles


is having seat belt issues.


when I'm belted in and pull quickly on the belt it doesn't stop coming out, meaning likely injury in the case of an accident.


on inspection it looks like the little lead weight and components are in good condition (I've not drilled out the rivet to look under the cover)


if I push the lead weight 1/4" toward the rear of the vehicle it works. adjusting the position of the unit is not possible unless I redrill.
what's another way to fix this problem
cheers
eric
ps I tried to post pics but lost the post, will try to add.

Default more belt pics

here's a pic of the weight and interior parts
anything better will require me to drill out the rivets that hold the cover on.
not a big problem if I need to

car-part.com for used parts ...



I'm not a seat belt expert, but when I inquired on a 92 z34, they wanted VIN and all that to be sure. But that was before bankruptcy and all that.
