    Outstanding! How long to install? how'd you setup the 4/5 point harness? How much?

    Does your contact do those seats in tan?

    Couple questions:
    1) does the seat come in leather or did you have them redone like that?
    2) are they lighter than stock 348 seats? They must be.
    3)how did you mount the rear shoulder harness attachments? Got pics?

    I think the seats look great and they look like they belong in that car. Are you using the scroth ASM 4pts belts? If not do a little research on those they are the best 4pts and if you end up doing more tracktime you can do a parachute style 6pt with a 6pt "formula" style harness.

    im in the process of distributing these seats , they are corbeau seats , this model is the 100% leather front and back A4 . I chose to promote these seats - because 1- they are made in the USA , 2 and possible I can get them customized in your choice of materials.3 reasonable prices! less than half of sparcos.. originally i was going to have a red alcantara seat and lumbar area , but decided to install the stock leather .
    i dont plan to track this , so i welded in a 2" x 8" 1/4 plate with a grade 8 bolt for the shoulder and mounted the lap belt via the rear seat mounting bolts. im confident it is stronger than stock restraints that were so lame .they are corbeau 2" 4 pt harness kit.
    it was a pain to fabricate the slider seat track, as the bolt pattern is about 2" off . i used the 2" flat bar again here, mounted that to the bottom of the seat, welded nuts to the bar , and bolted the stock slider assy to the seatbase. you have to do it this way , otherwise the seat sits too high. working on a ferrari low rise slider kit with them.
    ps i didnt weigh the m, but i figure they are about 2/3 of the weight of the oems , even lighter if they were the cloth seats.

    Did you remove the seat belt track? Can these be made with a hole for 5th belt point at crotch?
