Yeah, it changed in 99. It's not attached to the body of the car anymore on the inside pickup point. The outside pickups were just the #50 Torx of course, but the 99+ design is mounted to the damn seat (and the bolt is welded in). It's retarded. The strongest thing I'd had that day was a Diet Coke

That sucks. At least you got them in, even though it was a pain. Once you use them the first time, you'll forget all about the install and be glad your safe on track.

You are correct!

What are you doing with the car ?? Keep in mind, if it is a street application, they must have a DOT tag, if for competition, they must have an SFI or FIA tag.
And like "Kevin" said, they have an expiration date.....don't buy something that is useless to you.

LOL! Thanks for the reply, but since this thread was created, I've already stripped the car down, built the roll cage, installed the harnesses mentioned above, tore up the track at CMP, let Tony pass me, cut out the roll cage, put the car back together, and bought a '79 coupe to start all over again.

Gumball,

You've been pulling up some pretty old threads lately. Most of the threads your posting on are over 5 months old. Most guys have already done what they've talked about in their original post...or in Tom's case, have just started over.

I take it from your reply's you're into open tracking/racing? You're certainly in the right place for that. Some Cobra club members race their cars (Bryan Shugg, Dean Smeltzer, Will Sadler, John Pearson, and other's) and most of the other's open track their cars. Hope to see you at a track event some day soon!

You're right, I didn't look at the date - I just tried to answer the question...
