Momo Start Seat...out of date?

If it has the sticker, it's good to go without the brace.

Thanks for the info. I originally had bought a Start 2007 seat for this car but the new design of the Momo seat was physically larger and I couldn't fit it inside the car. The older design is nearly 1.5" narrower overall. I just wanted to make sure it was still viable given it's age and bottom mount design.

My goal is to get lower in the car. Currently my helmeted head bounces off the roll bar and I just don't think that's wise/safe.

What are you opinions on the Ultrasheild Road Race halo seats? While I believe it can be mounted in such a way to get away from the bar over the window, how safe are they? Aluminum looks mighty flexy even with c-channel supports wrapped around the seat.

I have an aluminum seat in my P-CAR.

I use a Recaro and a Konig in my IT cars.

They all work fine, but the aluminum seal requiresa some thought as to mounting.

We take the seats in all our IT cars and lean them towards the middle of the car a small amount to get more clearance on the halo bar. Also twist the rear of the seat towards the center . Only seat I found that fit in the miata was a Momo without hitting the door. Cobra Imola was second best for room.

Just put a seat back brace on it and you are good to go. I have a similar seat and it works great with the brace.

I think if you do some research you'll find the FIA seats are not designed to use a seat back brace and some people think (as I do) it's actually unsafe to use one.

Steve...any style barcalounger will fit in the Volvo....As for the back brace, I find that 4 cases of beer stacked behind the seat stiffens it(and me) up very well....LOL
