[DeTomaso] Seats/5+6 Point Harnesses/Silver State

[Mark McWhinney]

You don't need the slot, however you do want to think about where you
are going to put the bolt(s) for the submarine straps.  The bolt(s)
should be directly below the front lip of the seat.  

I think most people just put a bolt through the floor pan and secure it
with a stack of wide washers instead of trying to tie it to the rail
that runs underneath the floor pan.

If you have a seat on rails, the bolt could interfere with the seat
movement, so pre-fit everything before you pull out the drill.

You might want to chat with tall-guy, Pantera racer Matt Merritt for
more advice.

     Ok,  so I'm shopping for new seats.  I want to run the Silver State
eventually in the Grand Sport division which requires 5 or 6 point
harnesses.  From the rules section,  it appears that I don't need a seat
with slots for the crotch straps?  (Presumably no "strap ons" will be
involved)?  So it appears that any seat will be ok,  is that correct?
Or do I need anything special in a seat to meet the requirements?

Thanks,
Art
