I'll post pictures when they are done if interested Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/72503-aftermarket-race-seats/#findComment-1073521 Share on other sites More sharing options...

exarsixturbo Dr. Speed Member 784 Member For: 17y 8m 27d Gender: Male Location: The land of Politicians, Public Servants, Porno & Pyrotechnics Posted 19/01/11 12:16 AM Share Posted 19/01/11 12:16 AM I think you will find that they still need to be engineered. ADR approved means the comply with Australian standards and laws - that's totally different to them being legally fitted into a vehicle. Anything that changes the OEM safety features (like seats, seat belts, seat rails) needs to be engineered.And chuck some pics up! I wanna see how they look!
