Default CG Locks are good

For those who drive their luxury GT3s on the track (ie sports seats). The CG lock really helps to keep your bum in the seat. A very cost effective track aid.

Seconded....used mine in the C2 and have just transferred it across to the GT3 which has the buckets.

Word of warning, be careful of it coming into contact with the leather; the CG is a big old chunk of metal with some sharp edges, so need to be aware of it with pillar trims, and in case of the buckets, the aperture where the belt comes thru seat.

May see if the Mrs is able to make some sort of black sleeve (neoprene style) that can velcro over it.

Here is a trick you can use in case you forget to bring it to the track:
1. Set your seat a notch or two farther back than you normally have it.
2. Put on the seatbelt and yank it to lock the inertia reel.
3. Move your seat forward to its normal position.

It should stay locked for your track session.
