I have an old seat that was rotten through the upholstery and thought about glassing some side supports and loops for the lap belt and shoulder straps.
I figured I would first add a steel frame like 3/8 round bar or 1/2in heavy wall tubing then glass over top of that. Has anyone done that? And what would inspectors think and a DE or Autocross? Maybe a pic or 2? |

Cut sheet aluminum to the bolster shape and rivet in. Then foam over. Added advantage is that it can be tweaked to accommodate 'wider' sitters.
It how it's done at that engine swap place. |
