[QUOTE="Tob, post: 13883073, member: 83412"] Paul, I did indeed pull the fuse. The last thing you'd like to have is an inadvertent deployment that could have been easily avoided. Ballpark figure? Hmm. Tough to do, as I was simultaneously disassembling/reassembling my original seats. Without including that (or photos, notes, etc) I'd guess the better part of a workday for the first one and a bit less for the second. I like to start with the most difficult as opposed to finishing with it. But if this is a DD, I'd do the passenger first just to get the hang of it and so you can drive it if you are stuck for time on the second seat. Phill, I believe that your 2010 module will occupy the same physical space as the later module. I have [I]not[/I] held both in my hand and am basing my assumption on studying "Mustang Don's" photos and comments on the subject. I'd chalk in this swap up there at the top as well. I'm 6' 215 lbs and the seat hugs me as if I was a baby laid between Sofia Vergara's cleavage (just imagine a warm place that you never want to leave). Phill, you pose a good question. I've never seen a negative comment regarding available helmet space on the Recaro's as equipped for either the GT500 or the Boss 302 cars. There are quite a few images you can find and study as well of open track driven cars with that configuration. Paul, fantastic job documenting the part numbers along with seat weights. I wholeheartedly agree about the finished product being the best "production" seat that could have (and [I]should [/I]have) been installed in a Mustang. Your thought process as well as the ultimate solutions you chose for removing the seat belt bezels mirrored mine exactly. And I can honestly say you gave me quite a laugh with your comment about the clip, in essence, vaporizing. I've learned to freeze the [B]moment[/B] something like that happens and to focus intently on any sounds which may indicate where it may have gone, complete with robotic like head movements and eye focus. The clip will turn up, someday. ;-) And I was a bit bitter about the slashed holes as well considering it really isn't that difficult to simply lift the leather off of each respective hook. I commented on it after doing mine and know that it got relayed to the seller. He was unaware of that being done. Obviously too late. I think these were purchased in bulk and my understanding is that they originated at SAI in Las Vegas. In fact, I had originally tried to purchase a take off set from SAI (I think I mentioned it back a few pages) but in the end they wouldn't allow it. Nor would they reveal the purchaser.
