    Bucket seats with OE 3 point belts

    Looking at bucket seats again but not too keen on having harnesses as they're a pain for road use. Other that the Recaro Pole Position ABE does anyone know of any other buckets that are designed to work with stock 3 point belts?

    My Recaro is fine, although that's a sports recliner. Not sure what model.

    Will get a part number for you if you're interested.

      I've got a Recaro Speed that works with the 3 point belts but as with yours it's a recliner and not a bucket, hence the thread. From looking online the Pole Position ABE is the only one I can find specifically designed to work with 3 point belts. Shame as they're quite expensive. The Recaro Furious is a bit cheaper but that's designed for harnesses and they're a pain for road use IME.

      A Furious with decent 4 point harness would cost the same as the half 'leather' Pole Position I'm looking at but isn't supposed to be as comfortable or hard wearing.

        Ah I see, gotchya.

        Recliner seems fine for track use though.

            Did you use 4/5 points or the OE seatbelts? Have you got any pictures please? My concern is that the belt buckle is outside the seat and does not contact the thigh but sits on the seat, I can't see this being that good... The side rails on the PP are bent outwards to allow the buckle to poke through the seat without requiring flesh to be cut out to clear it...
