Bucket seats
Has anyone changed the driver or driver / passenger seat for bucket seats??
If so what set up have gone for?? Any pics??
What sub frames have ended up using? Is there Pacific ones can get so fit right instead universal.
Also how fixed your harnesses ? Can fit eye bolts into the rear seat belt fixings??

Hi,
I changed both driver & passenger seats for Recaro Pole Position's and used Buddy Club seat rails to mount them.
Some info in this thread

I'd have a serious think about not fitting harnesses if you don't have a cage of some persuasion. There's a school of thought that says you could actually end up worse off in a roll over if you're strapped into a harness (with out a cage) because you can't move out of the way if the roof deforms.

I know what saying but They will be only used during track days so not for everyday use.
Used same set up in pervious cars and no issues touch wood

We are used or Neil@Slowboy racing used eye bolts,depends how you want or which one you will be using
I don't have our actual pictures of the mounting points,but here are couple
We are used as above mounting point at back,but after that we are went with harness bar with which we can use too rear seats
Hope this helps
Thanks,Jura

If he going with bucket seats which one can't utilize existing seat belts,then only option you need aftermarket solution,on some seats you simply can't use existing belts,on some you can use both
How many times you can roll over,in my life I've never roll over to the date,but still on most harness you have one central locking and with this you shouldn't have any problem
We've used Harness on our wagon without the issue
Thanks,Jura

Genuine question, are you more at risk of injury whilst harnessed in due to lack of HANS device? A regular seatbelt has got some "give" in it - but I can't get the image of somebody's head falling off their neck due to being pinned to their seat.
