Spec Racer Build - Seat and Harness
These pictures show how we mounted the seat and harness. All harness attachment points are welded directly to the frame or cage. The kit only comes with the two lap belt attachment points. These are shown below on the passenger side, but are the same on the driver side.
I installed a harness bar for attachment of the shoulder harness. This is the proper way to mount the harness in order to keep the angle between it and the driver's shoulders correct.
The sub belt goes throught the bottom of the seat and attaches to a tab. This tab is welded to a roll cage member directly under the aluminum floor.
The seat back brace helps support the seat in a wreck. Two bolts secure the seat to the brace. The seat also uses three bolts through the bottom to secure it to the frame. You may not notice it in the picture, but the seat is purposely mounted crooked. This is partially to get it as tight up against the tranny tunnel as possible. In addition, the pedals are slightly offset to the left, so it is natural to turn the seat slightly to the left.

The Kirkey seat is aluminum with a padded cover that snaps into place. It's fairly comfortable for an economy seat, and it comes with the kit. I bent the sides in slightly to better hold me in place in the turns.

This site contains pics and info as a reference to those building FFR Spec Racers, and anyone that simply has an interest.

The site will not be updated further as I have sold this car in early 2003 before the start of the race season.
