That's the right way to do it...right down on the floor.
Consider the seat you're using and take a look at a newer one that has side supports for the head--definitely recommend dropping the coin to get the added protection. Here's what happened to me in a low speed spin into the tire wall at VIR.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1heYF7JqF4I Here's the new seat--no impact but you can see the protection that you should have.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0BU4kyuCY4 |

I'll take a look at that. I'm moving from this so just being in a sedan with a cage feels like being in a bank vault in comparison but I get what you are saying :-)  |

Looking good. When you get it done, the roll bar near your head should have the hard SFI padding. I just learned that. I may be doing some belting like this soon. Or I may just do two of the hooks, like you had before. |

Yup will do Justinp71....Had a small accident at Road America (canadian corner) some 30 years ago and my helmet hit that roll bar pretty hard. Not again. Mark
