    Tillett B6 Screamer installed

    Took the lead from stradman, purchased 2 sizes of the B6 Screamer, the normal size for the driver and XL for the passenger side. The shop only had the XL in stock and I wasn't sure which I preferred and mounted the XL, while waiting for the non-XL to arrive.
    Needed seat adjustment and opt for the Tillett sliders(TR1). Note if you use other Tillet seat brackets that mount outward instead of inward, you will likely need the TR2 slider handle to accomodate the extra width.

    Didn't have time to do the install and outsourced to my local race shop, who encountered a few quirks. The seat lowering kit mounting on a slant along with the Tillett seat bracket(TBF1) meant a more reclined seating position. Made a few modifications to accomodate my preferred upright seating angle.
    1) The front of the B6 seat is angled/beveled and hits the Tillett TBF1 bracket if attempting to use the lower hole positions. Trimmed the front section of the bracket to gain access to the lower hole.
    2) Drilled extra hole at the rear of the TBF1 bracket to increase rear mounting height.
    Spent 2 track days to get the comfortable with the new arrangement.
    The combination above was close but not perfect.
    Love the added feedback. Everytime is amplified.
    Used the Teamtech bar to secure sub and lap belts.

    The non-XL finally arrived decided to swap.

    This was a good time to make additional adjustments.
    To reduce the angle further, installed 2 10mm spacers to the rear underside of the sliders. This not only got me to my preferred seating position it also provides clearance for the slider to the rear seat post mounted to the body.

    The B6 (non-xl) is narrower than the XL by 30mm requiring spacers @ 15mm on each side mounting points with m8(1.25)x40mm 12.9-grade bolts.

    There is slight movement side to side originating from the slider, but once strapped in with a harness it's solid.

    Waiting for Doug to release his version of the seat base for both sides, along with the passenger sensor termination.
