New Seat Rules, What fits and what is legal? Options

[TeenerTim]

OK. I was following this thread in the Garage and there was no definitive answer as to what seats will pass the new rules for the ant-submarine strap. It seems like a lot of people are going to have to replace their existing seats. I thought it might be a good thing to have one place for the "official" list.

Question #1: Do you still need a new seat if you use a six point belt instead of a five point?

Question #2: What seats are both approved and fit the 914?

My seat is a 15" Kirkey. I am 5' 10", 170 lbs and have a 34" waist; the seat is very snug, but it is very nice because it holds me very still when driving. I also purchased two Kirkey mounting brackets. I attached the back to the stock floor hinge (there are two holes in them, I only had room for one bolt for each); the front I mounted through the box beam, all the way through the bottom and attached with large washers and a locking nut. I used two bolts for each bracket in the front mount; one of the holes predrilled into the bracket matched up perfectly with two holes that were already in the box beam. I also attached the anti sub belt to that box beam in the same manner.

I did this on advice from the owner of American Racing Suppy here in Las Vegas (www.americanracingsupply.com).

My biggest challenge is getting the correct angle of the shoulder harnesses from my shoulder to the point at which they are secured to the car.

I am also told that I need a seat back brace between the horizontal bar just below the back window and the back of the seat. A couple of drivers from the POC and PCA said a home frabricated piece made from materials available at Home Depot will do just right.
