Racing Bucket Seat

I want to replace my stock buckets with a pair that already has mounts for a harness. What is recommended? Would like for it to still recline, i.e not just a hardcore faberglass unit. Anyone have some for sale?

George,
Yes and No. The adapting of the seat to the stock sliders is simple. The materials ,drilling,scrapping and starting all over is what is a pain. In a scale from 1-10 its about a 6.

I'm not aware of any aftermarket seats that have harness mounting points built in. You typically rely on roll bar/roll cage for shoulder harness mounting and stock attachment points in the floor for the lap belts. I welded a 1/8 plate to the seat support crossmember for my sub belt.

The seats that I had in mind were of what Louie has but you make a vaild point turbodave. Is there a belt unit availible that bolts to the floor but serves the shoulders? The whole reason for replacing is that my seats are in bad shape and I wanted to switch to something a little nicer and safer. Also for Louie, when a price is figured please get back to me, until then I'll keep researching
