Very comfy though with the cover, easy to get in and out of since steering column doesn’t move. I like it

OK, so if you do not want to make your own brackets we have come out with some that are really trick. They are really strong considering how light they are. Made from 3/8" aluminum. I was buying brackets from OMP for about $210 shipped and then extensively modifying them. Now you can buy these and use them as is. They are about 2 pounds each. $450 a set. I beta tested some with a 20" kirkey today. They will also work with a 18.5" and they can be used with a 17" along with spacers same as I was doing before.

OK Guys, get out the Sledge Hammer. Well really a Single Jack. This has been on my list of honey doos for a while. And my Demon 170 Jailbreak activities have been put on temporary hold.

I did 2 things. I modded the seat to put the seat belt buckle inside and I routed the anchor side inside the cutout. Feels a little better when I am belted in. Likely a little safer if....................

Last pic is the old way........... 0607241449a_HDR.jpg 0607241508.jpg 0607241508a.jpg 0607241539.jpg

I am going to have one of these setups for sale soon. It's expensive but it will be complete and ready to go (depending if it needs to be shipped or not, some assembly may be necessary). PM for price and exchange details. View attachment 97538
Do you have any of the kirkly seats for sale?

Do you still have these for sale?
No Sir. They are too expensive to sell all set up like this any more. I can hook you up with brackets if you want. 0322241251.jpg

In the one Pic you can see the Airbag Light Bypass Harnesses I made for Dan. One is for the Pass side. The other is for the drivers side and that is the one with the small grey connector. If you buy the seat belt Buckle number I listed, it will plug right into this device and then the seat belt light will function like Stock OEM. I call this the divorced setup and I prefer this on my own car.
Are you still selling the bypass kit? I would love to by them from you.
