Great Job on the Tow Hooks Todd. I realized tonight everytime I strap my car down I'm on top of my brake lines. I'll have to do something.

I sure like this car!

I'm guessing for what you do with the car even going to a 4-point REAL harness would be a HUGE improvement on the track!

If your gonna be fast, and do alot of track days with your car, you will find the limit and go off track and hopefully not into something hard.
I would try to make a 5th point work even if its over the front of the seat.

Can't you have the interior shop that did the car slot the seat for the 5th belt?

A 5th belt is almost a must.Without it when you pull down on the shoulder belts the lap belt will be pulled up..That 5th belt helps keep the lap belt where it belongs.

Gotcha, that makes perfect sense.

Anthony, come on bro. I have done a little of my own work in this 4000 page thread. Shouldn't you be working on something...

Sorry Bro - I meant to say the shop that stitched up the interior...we all know you have done most of the build!
Anyways, I remember you being very happy with their work. I would think they could make it happen for less money that a new seat?

I'm not getting new seats. I didn't even think about needing the hole for the jock strap.

Greg, I'm man enough to admit my mistakes...

Did you read my full post?

I've got more "used" (barely) parts on the shelf than I have on my cars! Each one of them a mistake... or -- as I tell some people -- "they've been upgraded".
