I’m looking for a seat to put in my focus for trackdays. I’ve already got a harness so was wanting to use that too.
Anyone local to Newcastle got one for sale ?

Not wanting to pee on any bonfires but unless you have a cage using buckets and harnesses is not recommended.

Really?

Edit: Did a bit more research. Decapitation... got it. Nothing wrong with the bucket seats though surely?

So long as the original belts still work ok I don’t think that’s too much of an issue.

Have to make a point.

A harness will allow you to keep a better control of the car and therefore less likely to need the use of a cage.

Original belts only hold you in for one direction of curve. If it's an RHD then you'll be safer for LH corners
BUT
If you lose t on a RH corner then there's nothing to stop you entering the Passenger's seat, withthe wheel in your hands.

Belts over both shoulders should be considered a minimum.
