I'm looking for some power seats...BUT...

I'm going to be puting a roll cage in my 67 camaro, and will have 4 point / 5 point harnesses, so there has to be an allowance for the seat belts to feed over the shoulder...

I like the seats that you see everywhere that are designed for this, but I really want to get some POWER seats.

Any suggestions?

I'm not sure about any power-adjustable racing style seats available like you are talking about. The seats with the 5 point mounting holes are always manual.

You might want to consider a seat with an adjustable or removable headrest (like a 4th gen Trans-am seat) so you can route the harnesses under the headrest. I think it is safe doing it this way, but I'm no expert in this department.

This is a pic from the DSE catalog, and as a matter of fact, those are the same seats I have in my '67 (although mine are leather). Most comfortable seat I've ever had, but they will cost you :)

BTW, my seats have power height/tilt & backrest angle adjustments but have manual seat track adjustment (for forward/back movement)

Hope this helps,

Andy

I've used 96 vette power seats, easy fit. And they fold foward to get people in the back

He was looking for something that would accept 5 points. I'm not sure how the Vette seats would work with the harnesses.
