[DeTomaso] replacement seats

Fri May 2 23:21:21 EDT 2014

I don't really care how you prep your car. It's your car. But, would you do the same to a vintage Ferrari, Masarati, or Lamborgini. Just saying. Gotta stir the pot

Well mark I guess that why baskin Robbinns makes all those different
fllavors. Different people like different things. I already have
Recarostyle seats in my car ( they are just not brand name or
FIA sanctioned. I have six point harnesses and a stock Pantera seat isn't
effective at maintaining the six point harness in the proper position . In
the event of an accident it is extremely important (IMHO) to have a
properly positioned submarine belt and in order for it to be placed in the
correct position you must have have an anchor point that goes through the
seat ( not wrapped forward around the front of the seat. Improper
positioning of multi point harnesses (5 or 6) can result in serious injury
or death. So despite your preference for the aesthetic appeal of the stock
seat if you plan on doing more with your Pantera then car shows then it is
essential that you optimize your car to provide the maximum in safety .
Aside from the safety issues I happen to like (in fact prefer the look of a
recaro style seat).  If I wanted a Pantera solely for a car collection I
would have kept it stock. Now I want seats that not only provide a more
stable driving position (like a Recaro style seat) but one that is
also FIAapproved ( like an authentic
Recaro, Corbeau or Sparco) and is built to a higher quality standard.
