Greg Weld came & sit in the car for a seat, belt, pedal, switches, fire handle, steering & shifter fitting.
The man, the myth, the legend that is Greg Weld. LOL
In all seriousness, it was great to see Greg. For those that don't know, he is battling cancer ... again ... in a different area.
Fitting went well. We work out seat position first ... relative to the pedals. Then we dialed in the steering wheel location ... switches, fire pull handle, shifter
This one is a heavy duty ButlerBuilt road race seat spec'd by me, with head & shoulder supports (to prevent injury/death in side impacts) and set back headrest (to provide room for HANS). Best protection available for $899. See them HERE.
You can't see the 4 slotted brackets we use on the chassis to allow the seat to be moved fore or aft by loosening & re-tightening the bolts. This does require a new rear seat support to be made, as we don't slot those typically.

I love the Butler seat I bought from Ron. It is the best piece of equipment in my car, hands down!
I am a little concerned about the fitment of the seat in this car. It looks like the seat should be narrower in the hips, wider in the shoulders and much farther back from the pedals.
