do you actually use the telescope?? It only seems to move about 1".

We were looking at doing a seat in the Z06 because my co-driver is 6'6" tall. However, I found that by removing the headliner and the center seat bolster, we found "just enough" room for his head and his knees. Had to dis-connect the seat heater wire to get the bolster in/out easily, but it isn't used too much this time of year.

Those side-curtain airbags really mess everything up for track guys. The explosed seatbelt latch (the female part) and the steering all work together to sinch the driver in an accident. I don't think it is a simple matter of putting a couple of resisters in a box and plugging it in.

Aaron at Pfadt Racing posted a while back that he has a connector available for this purpose. It's just not up on his web-site yet.

Yep, give a shout if you need one. We've got a few in stock and more on the way. Making the tele wheel wheel work is no prob with our harness.

I was just hoping it would make it easier to get out of the Kirkey. I don't even know if the wheel is in or out where it is positioned now. How much is the harness? Thanks!
