Seat Back Brace
#1

I got my car from a guy in GA and he said I could use the I/O port seat back brace, but for the life of me I could not get it to fit. The cross brace of the cage is to close to the rear deck and where the seat ends up I would have to angle the seat back brace down a bit. The I/O port was so snug in there even with out the bolts installed yet that I could never angle it correctly.
This is what I came up with. I do not plan to move the seat, I know I have know adjustment how it is mounted now.
The pic is pre welding
Hope its ok, thanks

I have a sparco circuit pro composite seat that is going to be out of date this year and I have to back brace it, I was going to use the above I/O brace. any recommendations regarding bolting the brace to the composite seat? Any issues?
also on my belts the expire in 2012 so are they good to 12/31/12 or are they no good after 1/1/12?
If it was me I would use a big piece of Alum on the inside..........

Directions:
Determine where on the seat back the mount needs to be to have the 1½â€ tubing horizontal* either above or below the shoulder harness bar on your roll bar. *Note: For quick adjustment, make sure the 1½â€ tubing is parallel to your seat rails. Mark this position on the seat. Remove the plastic coating on the clamp and box channel pieces. Place a clamp piece back-to-back with the box channel piece. Push the 4 carriage bolts through the 4 innermost holes in the box channel and through the first clamp piece. (For 1¾â€-2†tubing use the outermost holes.) Place this assembly under or over the harness bar of the roll bar and attach by using the second clamp piece and 4 Nylock nuts. Leave these nuts loose at this time.
