    Look very nice, dont think I could have seats like that in a road car though, I'd prefer to have the back of my head in tact after an accident [:s]

    Each to their own mate ;)

    Probably would look better without the stitching actually, but still like them. :)

    think he's referring to the plastic inserts (if they are plastic) that the harness goes through, but I think your head would actually rest just above the harness holes.

    I still think they're 'the bollox' :clap:

    Aha.

    Yeah your head rests just above the holes and they're only made of plastic, so can't see any major head damage factors there.

    probably a hell of a lot safer than your boggo standard head rest.

    Chris H:

    Here's the pics you wanted mate; the 1st one shows the frame and a mounting point for one side of the lap harness; the other is where the ends mount to by the rear seatbelt clips:

    Pic 1

    Pic 2

    I can't really get a good camera angle to take better pics of the frames I'm afraid.

    The foam is slightly harder than the standard seats as they're new, no doubt over time they'll soften up a bit. As for the quality of the leather, Fantastic! Very supple and well stitched - No stitching errors at all!

    Very pleased all in all! :)

    i'm not sure whether to get some crystal indicators for the front or not??

    still undecided as to what to do with the rear seats as well - have to say i'm loving the look of your polished roll cage and no rear bench though............hmmmmm decisions [:x] [:s]

    lol bucket seats are ten thousand times safer in accidents just because of the overall support they give you.

    plus with the head rest actuall up against your head they no doubt help a million times in preventing whip lash
