Zusammenfassung:The apparatus (48) has a rotatably driven drive tool (50) with a free end adapted to drivingly engage a fastener for movement toward a mounting tab (36). A cup-like cage part (56) has a base portion (58) with a hole formed through it which slidably receives the drive tool. An axially extending retainer portion extends normally from the base portion and having a free end adapted to engage a seat belt component. A pair of spaced electrical contacts (66, 68) are carried for movement with the drive tool toward the seat belt component mounting tab. The spaced electrical contacts have free ends, positioned with respect to the drive tool free end, to engage the base portion of the cage part only when the threaded fastener is seated with respect to the seat belt component mounting tab. This electrically interconnects the contacts to provide an indication that the threaded fastener is seated.
