Comfort for extended daily driving may be limited by the fixed-back design. Consult local regulations regarding the use of competition seats on public roads.

The RT Carbon distinguishes itself with its full premium leather lining, delivering a more refined finish than fabric-lined alternatives like the HTE-R or HTE-EVO.

2. Select OMP Type W side mount brackets with 290mm bolt spacing for your chassis, or use a universal adapter plate.
3. Attach the side mount brackets to the seat shell using the provided hardware, torquing to OMP specifications.
4. Position the bracket-and-seat assembly on the floor rails and check seat position before final tightening.
5. Install a compatible FIA-certified harness through the appropriate harness slots, routing shoulder belts through upper openings and lap belts through lower slots.
