Kinda an oddball question.
Are you required by NHRA to have a 5 point if you install one of those seats? Or can you use the stock seat belt?
I'm about to buy mine and it's going to be easier to fab up some brackets but I started wondering about how the seat belt would fit around the seat.

If i'm required to use a 5 point it's fine with me, I have no problem with it but am I required with an aftermarket seat?
Can I use the stock seat mounting points as anchors for the harness?

Comapred to all after market seats they really arent that bad......
I had the Corbeo (or how ever u spell them) and i hated them.....
I like my Kirkeys even better.
I bought them used for a smokin deal... keep an eye out in the FS section...
Even full price there not bad. $120 for the seat, plus $80 for the cover.....
Thats $410 shipped from Summit.

"Universal" means they DO NOT FIT ANYTHING. They suck ***, in other words. I modified them just to get them to work (poorly) and eventually had a friend who is a bad-*** fabricator just make me custom mounting brackets from scratch.
