Seat choice

[TheArf]

Has anybody used seats with removable headrests.
I have seen a few on ebay and I'm not sure, the problem is I'm built for comfort not for speed and the usual type of seat fitted to the roadster is a bit SNUG.
Would the harness straps have to go inside the rods in the base of the headrest.
Any thoughts guys

I have removable headrests on my seats and I have the harness coming around the outside of the headrest not the inside. I believe for IVA you have to take the belts around the seat even if it has harness holes otherwise the seat could become a structural part of the seatbelt test.

One problem with the style of seat I have is because they are fairly wide at the lap I had to get belts that adjust from the lap down rather than the side up as the buckle on side up belts would be caught between the seat and the sides of the car.

Ill try and get a pic tonight.

Hi Arfon,

The seats were a find for sure.

Heres how my harnesses are fitted around the seats.

That's looking tidy, I am hoping that I will be able thread them through the inside of the bars as I will be using narrower belts those look like 3" if I'm not mistaken so if I go for 2" harnesses they will hopefully pass between
