I had/have two problems with them. One, I had to fabricate custom mounts. Wedge Engineering claims to have a mount for the SVX. After three attempts, they gave up on me. I had to fab them up myself. Second, I have 4 point harnesses in the car. The buckles on the shoulder straps are a PITA to get through the holes in the seat back as they are too small. Otherwise, I love them.


What kind of 4 point harness are you using, did you do both driver and passenger?

Re: Seat Compatibility

So lets say I get some aftermarket universal bucket seats. Is there anyway I could just weld the svx rails to it so I don't have to make tabs and have gaps in the carpet?
