I used the brackets that they came with...work well but are a bit just a bit..too low...
I will eventually move the drivers side to the stock electric bracket

And Ive got to figure out the seat belt...anyone got an idea?

I had those seats in my rx7. For the seatbelts I had a bar going from side to side behind the seat. A 4 point harness seat ball was run from there, worked great.

StrobinSS...just so happens...

Everyone..this is a prototype..NOT the finished idea...there is a frame that runs right under the shoulder piec there..Im thinking I can find a smaller handle and use it..but he Idea is the same


And BTW...replacement covers can be had froom corbeau for 99 bucks..so If I cant find someplace to do the re-cover Ill switch to black

You could just run the belt through the seat..... I mean there are hole in the seat for that reason.... I got the Forzas in my TA and just routed the belts through the seat till I get the cage welded in..... Whenever that might be

Nice!!! I saw that you had posted this:

Cornering is fun again....

FYI replacement covers can be had for 99 bucks from Corbeau dealers..they do seem to fade quick...
...and I'm like, "What the hell is he talking about, when did he get seats?!?!"

So I searched and found this... Nice !

Where was the thread you saw them in?

FYI, I ended up getting the LG Motorsports/G2 roll bar:





Rollbar

It mounts to the fender wells through the sail panel and it allows COMPLETE usage of the back seat (you can even fold it down) with no reduction in visibility and I can just run the stock seatbelt under the bar to keep it from cutting my neck
