Pics please and some inside info on what you did to get it all working together before my seats arrive would be awesome!!

here's is something i haven't thought about.. with the harness in place, should we keep the airbags in place? Just putting it out there..
Here's a couple of pics:
Here are the bits and bobs I needed:
1. two seats!
2. two sets of harnesses
3. two pairs of side mounts
4. two pairs of runners (fore/aft adjustment)
5. two Sparco seat brackets/frames - these bolt to the floor of the car and the runners bolt to these
6. lots of 10.9 bolts, nuts and washers in various sizes
7. lots of Tillett seat spacers - these came with the seats
8. eight FIA eye bolts
9. four FIA eye bolt backing plates
10. four non-FIA eye-bolt backing plates (for the lap belts)
11. a drill and a large drill bit - the right size for an FIA eye bolt
12. passenger seat occupancy mat/sensor
13. code reader able to reset the airbag light
14. a lot of patience
I have the lap belts going to eye bolts fixed to the side mounts - in order that they will move with the seat.
The crotch straps attach to a cross bar that is part of the Sparco seat bracket/frames
The inertia belt is retained and has all the same fixing points as standard except that the belt receptacle (tunnel side of the seat) is now retained by an FIA eye bolt, which in turn has the tunnel side lap belt attached.
Regarding the airbags if you are retaining the inertia belts then I would definitely keep the airbags as well.
