Are those solid seatbacks? How do you plan on routing the shoulder straps?

That's the other problem... I was looking for the same seats with the removable headrests which came in the 86-87 FC's in the same color... or just an aftermarket seat all together like I posted.

A seat with an adjustable headrest will bind the harness straps together, and it might be really uncomfortable on the back of your neck. the FD has a hole in the seat back, which is just big enough to work, but not big enough to be comfortable. I would prefer a seat with seperate holes for the shoulder straps, then they stay seperated, which aides in their functionality. Also, then the shoulder straps will be coming through at a more correct angle to support your upper body. As it stands, me being 6'2", the FD's hole is a little low, so the straps go up over my shoulder, but then down under the headrest. Not the best setup, but it works.

How I mounted mine (used just for AutoX, whatta pain to put them on each time for street driving). They hold you well in the corbeaus...without them during a run you roll into the seat excessively and come out bruised/sore. I ran them into the hatch and used some of the mounting hardware included w/ the corbeau harnesses and some stuff I had. I used STOCK bolt holes in the hatch that would be much stronger than anything you could drill back there...these are deep strong mounting points. I also used a nicer washer to seperate the 2 straps per harness to prevent them from binding/buckling. Then just slid it under the carpet

Above the carpet, not taught since nobody is strapped in hehe

Again, this is just for the AutoX - harnesses are a pain for the street and unsafe...in the AutoX you take other cars hitting you OUT of the equation and you need to be held in place. On the street, if something happened, the stock seat belts are safer to me since they allow your body to move in a crash rather than staying in place and having the car crush over you etc...

Thanks, I appreciate it.

notice those two large bolts in the first pic...that is where the harness mount I simply ran the harnesses under the carpet after the initial installation for a cleaner look.

Where did you mount them in the front? How do like the corbeau seats?

jrotaryb

the front laps are mounted to stock locations using some of the corbeau hardware and some more washers/small spacers to keep things spaced out a tad so they won't bind at all. corbeau actually included nice hardware...it looks good, even the OEM caps fit over the mounting points and there is plenty of thread engagement to secure everything. the corbeau seats are a nice buy for the budget minded...they are comfy and really make you feel like you're a part of the car rather than something sitting on/in it. you stay in place and feel much more of the suspension working and tires reacting. these are forza II's I believe, the clubman is even cheaper and at a more reclined position, I like to sit more vertically. however, they are not made with the same quality as more $ seats like recaro or bride...the plastic harness holes are 2 piece and clip together and have come apart a couple of times from the pressure of the taught harness on them. they clip right back together and it happens every few months, but it can be annoying. the cloth is also cheap stuff but I've had them in for 2 years and about 15K and they still look brand new and feel great. the FC brackets are JUNK though. they are strong, but they just didn't fit very well so you have to play with them a bit...a little bit of trimming, a little bit of bending.
