Pics?? Sparco, Schroth, Rear Seat Delete

Anybody have this set up?: Sparco, Schroth, Rear Seat Delete?

I am seriously planning these mods for this winter but would really like to see the set up. There are a few MINIs here running the seats but no rear seat delete.

Pics of your set up is appreciated........thanks!

give me next spring and i should have it...

fyi, if your taking out the rear seats anyways, why not put a roll bar in? then u can run a proper harness...

i have rear seats normally... and i find the schroth isn't aligned 100% straight at the cross... the schroth is designed for the standard seats on the mini so you are tinkering with safety... i'd say put a rollbar or at least a harness bar to do a permanent mounted harness

Here's mine for now :

[Edit : (photos removed) nevermind, just posted the photos because someone wanted to see what it would look like. Looks like this thread is going to turn into something else. I know the Schroth harness are only meant for the stock seat and there are many that don't like it in the first place. I don't want to drive around with a rollbar (which I need to use my Sparco harness) when I don't need it under my current conditions so I use this combo by "choice" for our paticular auto-x use.]

IF we get a real track back here in Hawaii (gone since April this year so no lapping sessions anymore), I will be installing the AutoSport rollbar I have and putting my Sparco harness on, however, it doesn't look like it's going to happen for a while so this is the set-up I use for our Aloha Stadium parking lot auto-x right now.

When the Schroth harness is used with the stock seat, does it cut into anyone's neck? From the pictures it seems as though my neck will be hurt (I am 6'4" so my torso is very long)

Yep, that's what the Schroth Harness Pads are for.
