I'm curious about the use of 4/5 point harnesses with these seats. From some of the pics here it looks like some are using 4 point and there are no " holes " in the sides of the seats for the belts to go through. Looks like they go over the bolsters is that correct ? I assume that's acceptable for AX's and DE's ? So if using a 5 point you only have to alter the bottom seat cushion for a sub-belt right ? Just trying to learn. Thanks

MY two cents relative to PCA (and you may know this)
for DEs after market seats must have slots for belts. I had some period seats and sold them because wouldn't comply and thats what I wanted to do.
Rationale is a couple of accidents resulted in belts separating and bad stuff occurred as the seat held them apart to far. While 914 seats are less likely for that to happen there was no considerarion. Assume AX is ok .......but not DE and thats (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
