What is it about "low holes" that eliminates a seat for you? The holes for the waist belt are typically at the lowest point possible, at the corners of your hips shelf to maximize the circumference of your waist that the belt contacts.

For the record I have a Sparco Touring VTR full halo seat with Willans belts and love it.

I meant the harness holes on the back of the seat. They need to be shoulder level, but most of the seats I have sat in, are below my shoulders, which would be improper harness angles..

Well then, that makes sense... Must have been the sunstroke that got me thinking in another direction lol Proper angle is no greater than 45 degrees typically, the more horizontal the better.

I may end up having to just get a seat on the taller side, like the Pista or something, and get tech'd with no seat cushion in it.. :\
