Working my seat installation... I'm happy with the base mounts
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-19415-1488067033.1.jpg) but struggling with the back support.. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-19415-1488067033.2.jpg) Problem is that there really is not any space to even put your hands in let alone mark you spot. But my basic question: which is preferred and why? a. Should belt and seat back mount to firewall. b. Should belt and seat back mount to roll bar ( i prefer this but I cannot figure a way to do this given the space available.). c. Should belt to fire wall and seat back mount to roll bar. d. Should belt to roll bar and seat back mount to firewall. Please note that I have an eight paint roll cage. |

I welded a plate on the cage behind my Kirkey...together with the base mounted, it is the strongest installation I have ever felt. My belts are installed around the cage too. Definitely find out what the minimum requirements are but if it is allowed - pin the seat high (somehow).
PS: Nice brace Brant...its been awhile - I hope you are well. T |
