Default Race seat

The race seat for the driver's side is installed. I've been looking for a shop to install a cage. They'd like to see it installed for planning and need it for the build.

the seat is a Pyrotect and is FIA-certified. That means no back brace is needed for PCA.

The pics show the adapter plates needed to mount the seat to the stock seat mounts. Those are too far apart to mount the seat directly to them. The first pic shows the plates drilled to mount to the rails and to the brackets for the seats. There are commercial adapters available but they seem pricey when I can fab these out of a $14 plate from Fleet Farm.
