So after I got my car over 120 at Cal Speedway, I started to think it was time for a Hans. Looking for suggestions on race seats that work well in a 914 and don't interfere with a Hans. Thanks.

I had that same epiphany last year just prior spending the weekend at Infineon.
The Hans device requires the two shoulder belts to hold it in place. The belts must flank your neck very closely. So the seat must have shoulder belt holes close together. You also need the 5th belt between your legs to anchor down the belts tight over your shoulders and the Hans, so a 5 point harness is minimum. I am using a Kirkey seat, very light, strong, and easy to mount on the stock seat sliders. Mine is the 20 degree seat back which is recommended for road racing a sedan type car. This allows for some front-back adjustment of the seat as well. Get the Hans device, you'll feel smarter and look cool. Might even save your life if you hit the wall........... |
