I can tell you what I did.  Had the bottom cushion removed and sewed

into a seperate piece.  Added velcro to the seat to hold the cushion in

place.  Then had a second VERY thin cushion made with a hole in it for

the sub belt to go through. Works fine.  Can't get any lower in the

car.  If you look at it with the cushion out the seat is almost on the

floor.  Can drive to the track with a real cushion and then change to

the thin one to race.



Cost less than a new seat.
