I was talking about the seat belt chime. I won't be disconnecting my speakers. What do you mean by "OP"?
That's good to know Kat. If that is true, I guess it's a non-issue.
And Trent, the rules look like their pretty open to what you can use for a seat...
"The drivers seat of any car in competition must be constructed, braced, mounted, and upholstered to provide full back and shoulder support. The drivers seat must be supported on the bottom and back by the frame or crossmember........."
"All seats must be upholstered, or as noted under Class or SFI requirements.."
etc etc. etc.
It looks like aluminum racing seats have slots for all 5 straps. Ones like Corbeau have four slots, but nothing for the crotch strap. But the NHRA rules say on an OEM or OEM-type seat the crotch strap can cross in front of the seat and doesn't have to go through. Not sure if a Corbeau type seat is "OEM-type," but I would assume so.
I was thinking this over the other day.
Is there any way to add and properly brace a 5pt harness into the driver seat only without compromising a lot of the rear seat room? On a crew cab...
The Corbeaus I had did have a slot for the crotch strap. It's barely noticable, had to run my hand along the seam to find it. So uncormfortable with the crotch strap on. New ones may be different though...
On a racing seat thats pretty easy to do. Keepin the factory seat would make it a bit more difficult but still easily done
I cut the wire that turns on the ding ding ding as per the mod posted over on the DP. My seatbelt light still comes on if I don't have it on but goes out when I plug it in so I ASSume that this means my airbags will still work.
Not sure what would happen though if you just unplugged it though.....
your OEM seat belt is good down to 10.0 right? If you want to go faster than that and put in a full cage is when you need the 5 point seat belt isn't that correct?
Unless I'm reading the rules incorrectly, or missing something that may be an exception.... It says any car required to have a bar or cage, must have a 3" quick release with a 2" crotch strap. Must be clearly labed to meet SFI 16.1 (whatever that is) and dated by the manufacturer.

roll bar rule is 11.49
if your going to street drive the truck you'll need to swap the factory seats back in or get a factory seat belt setup thats outside of the seat. For some reason racing belts are not DOT approved & you can get a ticket even if your wearing it.
Can't you install a 5 point and use it with a factory seat the crotch strap doesn't have to go through the seat or so it says.
