And here we are. I'm getting ready to sell the car, and would like to reverse the installation. Has anyone done this yet, especially among you original C6Z folks?

Hey I was wondering how the head room was after you did this? I've been tracking my car with the stock seats and need to put the seat at its lowest position and recline it to get head room with my helmet on. I'm 6' 205 and have a long torso I guess, I just got new Cobra seats and roll bar and will have it all installed soon. I would love to keep the factory rails of possible, even after market rails with sliders would make me happy, as of now the shop told me I can't even use sliders because they are too tall.

DIY- Caravaggio race seat install
Step 16) Attach seat rail in car
Place rail in car, reconnect wirings, reconnect battery and check clearances. You can place the seat on the rail without tightening any bolts and check fitment. This is where everything ended up for me. I tried to tie wrap the black and brown boxes to the track, but they got in the way of the seat. So I left them loose, and the seat holds them in place. Position Lap Belt bar in place per its instructions.
Use 15mm socket attach seat belt anchor, torque to 31 lb-ft.
Use 15mm socket and tighten 4 seat bolts, torque to 37 lb-ft.
Attach sub-belts
Step 17) Attach seat control
Attached seat control. Peel off sticky-tape paper, press fit control to panel, and snap on control ****.
Step 18) Attach seat to rails
Use 13mm socket and loctite. Tighten until firm.
Step 19) Admire your new seat!
Finally, adjust your harness for a nice, tight fit...

Does anyone still have a copy of this thread with pictures they could scan and email to brownjamiet@aol.com. I need to remove them from a C5Z and can't remember the procedure as it's been so long ago. Thanks, Jeff

With this being a sticky, it should indeed have the pics working. @Dreamin any chance you can edit the original post and upload the pics? Would greatly appreciate it!
