Title: Putting harness holes in seats? Possible?
Post by: <--rYaN--> on December 19, 2003, 03:43:50 PM
Heres the idea, lets assume i had a pair of black leather rx8 seats, and lets assume i wanted to put harnesses through them. Could i get somebody who specialises in upholstery to put two "holes" in each seat below the rotor and place these rings in so that i could run harnesses through:

like these holes, you can buy the plastic bits surrounding the holes separately from sparco i have seen before, any color:

Do the holes have additional support around them or is it literally a hole with some secured plastic to protect the material??

Just a thought :D

The integrity of the seat may concern me, but im sure you could get it done in theory.

I toyed with this 6-8 months ago and ds engineering and others seemed they were to wide, will measure my brothers rx8 and have a look. RX7 struggles to get most seats in, even my carbon seats were a real pain and had to have new brakets made.
