Topic: $$$$$ Safety Equipment R & R for storage, longevity, swapping?
After preliminary installation of the seat, cage, and fire protection, are the most expensive (removable) parts of the safety equipment (seat, harness, bottle) relatively straightforward to remove and replace?
I only have unlocked outdoor parking for a build once completed. I have several build candidates in the "compact" to "mid-size" range; I have not yet selected where to start.
The key part: do the side panels (and general dimensions) of racing seats allow them to be removed through the cage when completed?
Yes, I know this depends on the particular seat, the vehicle, and the cage configuration, and seats are - in general - smaller than most people; but people (generally) bend and twist to fit through openings without plastic deformation.
I'm hoping the answer is:
1. "It really shouldn't be an issue with just about any seat, attachment method, and reasonable cage design for almost any car that size."
If the answer is:
2. "getting a (ex: Kirkey 65) out of a cage is going to be impossible without (removable steering wheel, cutting door bars, etc.), you should get a (X-brand° seat)",
then I need more measuring.
Thoughts?
