They are not installed yet, so I can’t be sure...but I definitely recall the ABEs had larger lap belt holes to accommodate for the belt to be inside the bolster. I did see a different post a few months ago, where there was challenges with the install of these sliders (not all elements in the kit are used, so it looks a little confusing)...I’m hoping mines goes better. |
That is excellent!
It does look a lot more involved and since the piece you highlight is sandwiched between the side bracket and slider, it'll still raise the seat.
This type of info is precisely what I'd hoped this thread would reveal.
I am off to research!
Also, I ordered a set of Pole Position ABE Carbon seats for my newly acquired '89. So, I've got four seats to mount now!
