Upgrading

Think about upgrading my interior, if I add interior pannels that support shoulder belts in the back can I mount these inside? also is it hard to switch from a 1 piece folding rear seat to a split rear folding seat?

Check the tech section for details on how to convert to the split rear seat.

JamesC I was wondering your Contuer seats did they come with power adjustments or did you "mod" it yourself to take a power track? I have a set of L/S contuer seats coming in the mail and was wondering if I could mate my power track with them.

The seats should bolt right up to your track. Hopefully, the seller also included the "pod" that holds the electronics (up, down, back, etc.) because it is different from the stock piece. If you'll do a search on my name you should be able to locate a pic.

I found the pic that I was looking for. Check the following link about halfway down.

as far as adding the rear panels to support shoulder belts, i believe you would need the mounting plate where the rear shoulder belts mount to, the other half of the assembly mounts in the stock location.
on top of the rear wheels wells is a point where the retractors mount for the rear shoulder belts. i did away with mine ( rear shoulder belts ) but left the mounting points there in case i ever needed to put them back. it hink they are welded there
