For those that have the Cantrell with LWB's...is there any restriction on how far the seat can slide back ? In other words, can the seat be slid all the way back without the roll bar interfering with the back of the head ?
I inspected the passenger side seat. There is already a pass through in the cushion, but not in the seat.
How do you lift the cushion? I know it lifts from the rear but appears to be hung up on the pressure bladder.
I plan to Dremel out the opening in the shell.
Joe's Track journal shows how to take out the seat cushion, there is a little white clip that attaches to wires on the seat, you will need to remove them, takes a little dexterity with a screw driver (me) or needle nose (Joe).

I have LWBs and a Cantrell bar - the seats CAN be moved all the way back without hitting the bar.

You can get to the clips in the back corner of the seats. Use a hook tool to release the wire, just don't break the clips. Peel the seat away from the velcro.. I drilled the seat with a whole saw on each end of the slit to match the drivers side and then used my Fien Tool to cut out the middle. I used a sanding wheel to clean up the cuts. I then covered the edge with upholstery retainer like we had on old cars.

Thank you for the pic! I'll do this with the seats out of the car while I install the roll bar. Will pickup an oscillating tool also - looks like a better solution then a dremel.
Any thoughts on the installation time, using LWB seats, no hole for passenger seat, and installing the roll bar, sub bar for driver's seat, and 6-pt harness for driver's seat?
I would say 12-15 hours if you have all the tools. I took it a bite at a time so not sure exactly how much time it actually took. I could cut the time in half now that I have done it once and know what to expect.

I'm starting 7 AM Saturday... We'll find out!
I installed my GMG bar in my 997.1 RS. That was FUN. Lots of expletives.
I don't have the sub bars or belts yet (black Schroth GT3 Profi2).
