Let us know if these will be manufactured in a small lot for the rest of us want to bes'. I understand how the seat connects to that Sparco seat base, but it wasn't clear where the 6-Pts connect. Looking forward to seeing final setup.

Neither did OG Racing - I did not feel confident with them due to their hesitancy and lack of knowledge of the S550 frame design in this application. So, I decided to figure out the best solution for myself - my life depends on it!! I do not think drilling holes in the tub and putting backing plates is the right idea - I do not want to weld on this car for resale, even though that is the best way. The Sparco belt clips line up perfectly with the seat bolts. The tub is reinforced from the factory with much more structural strength. Plus, you are spreading the load at six points instead of 3.

I have talked to him about that. Once they are installed and test fitted, I will see if he will make a package for Mustang guys. These cars are running crazy speeds at tracks, and a 6-point and Hans is a must if you want to continue tracking.

The seat frame bolts will be upgraded to hex head for easier removal.

How it's made...

Hey man, Graet job on the build! I believe we met at The Chin event at NCM couple months back. I was in the Red R. Glad to see you finally got your R! Is that you in the white R on the Roster for NCM this weekend? If so I'll see you out there this weekend. I'd like to check out those seats if you don't mind.

Hard to find guys that do/love work like this anymore.

Thanks - I remember that beautiful Red!. Yes it is...I will be bringing the GT350R and the GT3RS. That is one awesome track and can't wait to get the R out there.

Also...what camber are you running

Great! I love that Porsche too!

I'm currently running 2.1 up front, and 1.5 rear.

I hope I can do half as well when I need to get brackets for my Sparco SPX seats (late summer most likely) -- yours look great. Would certainly be interested if your guy can put a package together, but if not, glad you have a good solution for the 6 point harness.

I will put a package together and let you guys know the details. It will be cheaper than what I paid due to the R&D. Seems there would be a demand for the S550 chassis.

Sign me up for the brackets as well!

Hey man any news on the package?

 

[Demonic]

Nice, and would also be interested in the package. Did you get a chance to weight the stock R seats when you took them out? Or does anyone already know how much they weigh?
