Default Seat Grommets installed for 6 point harness

It was easy to do. I'll post some detailed photos this weekend.

Damn, those look just like my seats.

Did you do the side bolster mod too?

I didn't do the seat bolsters. It was easy, after getting your help.
I've got a series of step-by-step photos and instructions that I'm putting together.

I'm too tired to find the posts but basically here it is: Remove the seat cover, pull the foam forward off the frame, place the foam to the inside of the frame rather than over both sides of it, replace the cover. Having all the foam on the inside of the frame provides much better support on your sides from the hip area to your ribs. That equals much less side to side movement of your body in the seat.

PCA events won't allow that. You also must have the lap belts go thru slots in the seat base.

Thanks for the replies. I have read ALL the seat posts. This is for those folks who are not affected by such rules, and are interested in this mod. If I ever decide to run at a track or event that does not allow it, I'll not use it. Simple enough solution. As for the stock seat belts, they are not affected at all.
