Actually, Bob, I never liked either piece of music and don't really like the new one, but the skillful way the two were melded makes me smile. Anyhooo...
I talked a little about this with Kiwi Paul Friday at an estate sale (R.I.P. Dave), so I'm not totally winging this by myself, assuming, of course, that I heard him correctly and remember what I heard correctly.
Added a new cross bar and fabbed up some tabs, the seat back has been cut 3/4" and probably could use another 1/2":
Currently angled 5* up from the base where the harness tab mounts. The car is currently nose up and will be lowered for racing:
View from the rear, the mounting:
With belts:
The new crossbar is just snugged in and can be moved up or down. The belt mounting holes are 9" apart. The mounts are just tacked on. Everything can be moved. I intend to put a gusset under each mount once the location is finalized.
Anyone have any suggestions on improving this?
Mike
