Please report back as to whether Shelby is still cutting up the skins they resell.
Well, I can confirm that Shelby is still cutting the skins instead of removing them from the hooks. At least I was prepared from reading this thread.

Just a quick update to say that I just finished installing the seats into the car. The install went without a hitch......well, mostly, without a hitch.
My body is no longer made to contort itself into some of the positions required to reinstall the 10 amp fuse for the safety restraint system. It was aggravated by dropping said fuse and it landing behind the kick panel. View attachment 1477676
A few bone cracks, muscle pops, and muttered expletives later the fuse was back in it's proper place and all the covers reattached. I reconnected the battery and hoped I didn't get a dreaded airbag light on the dash. Once the car started the airbag light lit up and then immediately went off as normal. Another successful mod in the books!!!!View attachment 1477677
What did you do on the driver side larger harness? Not the yellow airbag one.
You need to copy your how to over here for those of us who were banished from that site.
Done.
Nice work BTW.
TOB - I read your thread and a bunch of others but I got a seat swap problem/ question.
I have a 13 GT and I swapped in Recaros from a 14GT and got the airbag light. When I bolt in my stock passenger seat back in the light goes off but I don’t want to dismantle my stock seats to get the OCS as I want the option to easily switch back and forth with my stock seats for track season. I thought I just needed an OCS from another 13 pas seat to install into the Recaro pas seat so I tried bolting in a 13 seat (DR33) from a salvage yard but the airbag light stayed on.
Now I’m questioning if it’s possible to have an Restraint Control Module compatible with two different passenger seat OCSs. Maybe I could get the RCM from the salvage seat car and have it programed to work with the Recaro fitted with the salvage seat OSCM and swap the RCM when I swap seats? What do you think? Can you think of a better solution? Thanks!
So I solved the problem by moving the original pas OCS over to the Recaros. It seems there are serial numbers in the OCS, the Passenger Restraint Module and the ECM that need to match making swaps without changing all three or flashing impossible.following this. Let me know what you find. I’ve had the light on for years but now my states inspections fails for the light. Pretty sure when the shop did my conversion the pass OCS was not moved over. Figuring out best way to eliminate this. Keep me posted please and thanks if you happen to work via PM.
