Muzz Race (South Wales) made brackets/spacers/fitted seats and installed new four point harness belts (fixings adapted as per Tron). I am very happy with result which both increases driving feedback and saves considerable weight. Muz Race specialise in sports/racing cars and are much more adept at this sort of work than a typical garage - they are thoroughly recommended.

Project continues with J's titanium exhaust fitted and Racetronic shift lighting system awaiting fitting.

I have just spent 30 mins trying to upload images, might try again tomorrow.
Thanks for sharing buddy Looking forward to the pics. (If you're uploading the images to the forum, you might be better off trying photobucket)

Good to hear that the narrow seat will also fit, wish I had gone down that route, as time went on and I'd done a few more trackdays I started to feel that the seat was too wide and was getting a bit of side to side movement. In the end I got Autotrim/Capital Seating to make some custom side padding.

What are your thoughts about those seats versus a regular bucket seat ? (like for example a Recaro Pole Position).

Image links now attached to original post. There must be an easier way that linking each image?!

Ripper, the obvious difference when compared to Recaro product you mention is that JK seats are less that half the price. The quality is good and JK are happy to accomodate individiual customer requirements - have a look at their website and at tron's and my images in this thread. I rather doubt that the seats are FIA approved - but unless you are racing this should not be a problem.
