Thank you!
Can you elaborate on the passenger 6pt? What did you use to cut it? Pics would be nice. Does the reupholstered seat look good? I just put the roll bar in my .2 and its sitting with the seats out right now. I'm debating on doing a 4pt passenger and a 6pt driver instead of installing both 6 points and having to cut.
You using BBi or GMG substrap mounts?
first not a big job at all. I used Cantrell sub mounts.
The seat cushion itself is easy just need an upholsterer to put in a stitch on either side so it doesnt open beyond the space needed. Take off the seat cushion on both the driver and passenger side look at the opening on driver , it has some extra Velcro sewn in other than that should look the same
use that as a guideline as to the length of the opening. Use a stitch opener from an everyday sewing kit , cut the thread on that center seam. then undo till correct size bring to a upholsterer to put back stitch on either side very easy for them
as to the carbon seat , make a template using the driver seat as guide , make sure the measurements line up on the passenger seat when u stencil the outiline on
i used a smaller drill bit to make a pilot hole. Just be careful you dont drill into any off the wires below zip tie or better yet get an extra set of hands n eyes
the i used a dremel to cut out the hole . Then I added black duck tape around on the opening edge so nothing could cut or fray the harness
Really not that hard at all and end result looks not different than what came from the factory on the driver side
