I note that harnesses usually attach to the rear lower crossbar on the cage...however this cage doesnt have that bar....I've mounted the eyelets from the harnesses into the original seat belt mount points on the floor pan I presume this is okay.....just wanted to check if anyone knew if once through the top slots in the seat the harness had to run straight back or could it go to mounts on the floor? secondly I have a dilemma in that both my wife and I would like to use the car....the seats are mounted on prodrive mounts...these mounts being fixed to cross bars weleded to the car......I need to work out some method of moving the seat easily back and forward...not worried about up and down.....any ideas on moveable runners?...

Paul how are the seats bolted /can you use quick release bolts like cycle hub type whiteline do qrbolts geo
paulc555 Posted October 21, 2007 Author Posted October 21, 2007 they seem to be bolted with a standard M10ish size bolt, through the slots in the prodrive mounts and straight into the seat itself....although not all bolts are fitted yet....and Im cacking myself at the though of drilling into the seat.... never thought of a quick release bolt.....mmmmmm Paul
