OMP HTE-R Race Seat

Has anyone put this seat in their ZL1? Wondering if it will fit ok. If anyone has installed it, please share which seat brackets and side mounts you used. Thanks for the help!

nice looking seat but the head containment part of it is going to be a pain if you drive it on the streets

Heres my video from my install



Used Planted brackets

I am 5'10 and had a hard time reaching the pedals, just enough to be annoying, so didn't keep it in for long

If you a bit taller I am sure it would not be an issue at all

You can get this seat cheaper from Murray Motorsports by about $200.

Did you go with a different set up then or scrap the race seat altogether?

Murray used to be go to for seats as shipping would only be 50 bucks. ANPOST went away with covid, so now DHL is the only option and it’s 200+ from Ireland. So all the savings have gone out the window with covid. Lame-o

Seat and shipping to FL is 761.11 and may take about 2 weeks to get it.

The DHL express (1-4 days) is $300 but the ground (about 2 weeks) is 127.93. So the cost with shipping is still under about $200 from that site. I just bought two seats and two six-point harnesses for under $500 compared to US sites. That also included my customs tax that had to be paid since I was over a certain dollar amount.
