Ok...if you insist Schroth harnesses mounted to factory clips and aux. clips provided by kit. They come in and out in less than 15 seconds.

LOVE my Sparco. It's a ***** to get out of since it's so low, but I bought it to drive, not get out of.

Very comfortable and it holds like a glove. The belts aren't used for everyday as they do restrict movement. I use them for spirited driving, or when I'm feeling like Mario Andretti.

All in all, if you have extra bucks burning a hole in your pocket, and you've done the pulley, intake and exhaust and whalen and totally pissed off your wife, this is a great next

Here's another angle, if you need something specific let me know...
As for airbag lights.... The new steering wheel is a MOMO racing with suede surface....very yummy.

Hey Peter,

I see in the first picture of your seats from the front that you've got the nitrous oxide in the back. In the other pictures from the back you've taken out your inside panels and back seat to lose weight.

Wow!

Just wait....

The new car we are building the weight should be in the 1600-1800lbs range with close to 300hp.
That should be a hoot to drive....Look out Vipers

You will have to type the site address. It is a little tricky to put in but it
fits. Be careful if you cut holes in the rubber, it will tear easily.

I got the web site from the fellow who posted the above photo.
It cost about $45. I took the OEM shift boot out and tried to put the rubber
one in the same way.

MSFIT,
How much did those Sparcos set you back?
And let me ask, how did you get around the airbag light?

Talk to Polly. She is one hella customer rep


See Randy's how to's on seat install regarding the use of resistors. I used a 3ohm as used by Mferguson.

Again, a little tricky. The OEM part has holes around the bottom. Small plastic clips
fit thru the holes to attach the boot to the mounting ring. I cut holes in the new rubber boot and installed it much like the OEM piece. Again, be careful because the
rubber tears easily.

Perhaps the fellow who posed the photo above could give a few words about his install.

You mean me I recall trimming the last section of the rubber boot bottom by half and everything was like OEM fit.

Thanks guys.

Peter-
We completely gutted a Cooper a few months ago. CF hood, doors, rear hatch, lexan windows exc. windshield with motor, dash, a seat, and a 3 gallon gas tank, tiny 15x3" wheels in the back and huge slicks up front (13x10 I think) and a nitrous bottle, the car weighed in at 1680lbs or there about. Just to give you an idea.

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Thanks for finding this boot.
I had been looking for a long time also.
