Wow, thanks for that lead, Gary, it does look right.
I'm going to check the re-install of my sliders now that my cage is altered and see how that goes.
Might spring for this as a backup.

It is possible to have the seat slammed on the floor and still have sliders if you're willing to do some fabrication ...

This has been a big problem for me and proof that "gaining weight" doesn't help the situation.

I feel like my laps belt is never tight enough causing my "grapes" to get crushed when I tighten my shoulder belts. Looking at the Schroth with handles after this year when my belts expire.

If I have another experience, like I did at Daytona, where I am torturing myself every time I hit the brakes I may shell out for this sooner. I try to have the pit crew help me out with my lap belts but they always get weirded out when I tell them to look me in the eyes when they are doing the adjusting.

Regarding the device that started this thread - link to the device other than the picture. Worried that it could become troublesome if there was an accident.
