Remove front seat belts when installing track seats and harness?
Asked this question in someone else’s thread but haven’t got much response from it. 2018 1SS 1LE track only car would like to remove front belts to save weight. I see a lot of you are making the effort to reinstall them (BK seat mounts). Is it difficult to make it work (no CEL, airbag or sat belt lights) without them? Do I need the factory harnesses from the seats plugged in if it’s a 1SS?

You're going to need the factory harness with a resistor on it for no lights.

One of the big benefits with the BK seat mounts is they let you retain the factory belts if you want to for street use. I only do a minimal amount of street driving and its nice to have the factory belts as you shouldn't use a harness setup on the street, but some do. There are no issues with having the air bag light on with a 1SS. You just cancel the light if it bugs you. Also does not affect getting it to pass my state inspection, NASA, SCCA, etc.

The seat wiring harnesses are on national back order with no estimated delivery date. Other than the passenger presence sensor what are they needed for on a 1SS? Seat airbags can be taken care of with a resistor.
