Race Seat for a 911E?

Looks like I'll be putting my '69 911E back on the track for the 2008 POC Short Track and Time Trial series. Looking for a comfortable, well-built, drivers seat that will give me maximum helmet clearance by getting my arse as low as possible. Needs to be HANS friendly. Thoughts? Thanks.

Seats are a personal thing, and what one person likes, may not work for the next. I'm putting an Ultrashield in my car, but it does not get any street use, so I don't need to be worried about that. I'd suggest try sitting in different seats in cars like yours and see what you like.

Sandy next race maybe you could ask a couple racer buddys if you could sit in their car for seat test fit.
No seat fit me, too tall, had a custom Kirkey made and then did a molded seat liner.
Just needs to be covered with black gaffers tape.
