seat harness bar?

[mhoward1]

Thanks, Tony - 15.5, sentences 6 & 7 were what I was referring to. Here's what's unclear to me. I have a Kirkey Sportsman seat. There are no holes for the passage of the shoulder harnesses through to the attachment point. But the seat, which is one that has full head and shoulder restraint, is very stout in the area that the belts would go over. If the seat back is very slightly above my shoulders, is the angle referred to the angle as measured from my shoulders or the seat back? Does there need to be provision for additional guide bars? To my eye, these guidelines don't allow you to resolve that. You guys, having dealt with tech inspections (I haven't) may have insights about this.

Thanks, as always, for any help.

Which Kirkey Sportsman seat do you have?

As far as angles go, here is a good guide about tolerances and setups to be safe and pass inspection.

It's the 71 series full containment road race seat featured here: https://www.kirkeyracing.com/product...CE-CONTAINMENT.

That's a great technical bulletin you shared, Marty; thanks very much. I think my shoulders are going to be so close to the top of the seat that it may be irrelevant, any way. I can mount the belt (and hence weld in the bar) level or slightly above level and be fine - I'll have to do some fitting and see.
