Today I got out in the garage and installed the harness bar and harness. Last week I replaced the seats. The ones that I bought for the car were cool, but the way they sat on the rails made them very hard to see out.

I replaced them with a set of stock seats that I had redone by the same interior shop that did the rest of the interior.

Learned the hard way... pay to have interior matched to the seats. Find out seats suck for daily driver. Pay to have stock seats matched to rest of interior.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)
Here's the driver's seat with the harness: Attached image(s)

I also removed the 22mm torsion bars from the front end and reinstalled stock 4 cylinder torsion bars in an attempt to cure my understeer problem. I get to find out next weekend at the PCA AX.
I installed my NOS right hand mirror. Mirror Pict: Attached image(s)

i must say that regardless of the comfort level, the piping on the seats really completes the look. Excellent taste.

Your seats look soooooo nice. They remind me of Tron.

That is a NOS 914 /6 leather wheel. The center is from a 68 912, but its the same center used on the 914/6 GT. It keeps me from honking at pylons when autocrossing. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

You telling me that I can use an early 911/912 horn button with my stock wheel? If so, that's awesome and I am now looking for a horn button!!! |

The three prong back is for the early wheel with the insert contact to coonect the horn button. If you get one and want to use it on the later cars with the wire to connect the horn button, you will have to change the three prong back for one with the little tab for the wire. Otherwise they are the same. I didn't have to change it, as I am using the 911 column, and the insert contact. I still need to clean it up and polish the rim. |

Thanks again... Betty is sitting here looking at this thread, and she is busy harassing me about my interior looking like tron. Now I am going to hear about it for the next few weeks!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) If I ever see you, I am going to (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/alfred.gif) and (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/spank.gif) and (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chair.gif) you!!!!! |

Yep.. all the way against the front stop. Makes it easy to find the correct adjustment point, and I get extra storage space behind the driver's seat. Tall people have LESS storage space inside a 914. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flipa.gif) |
