I wanted an inexpensive passenger seat as I continue through the DE process. I will have my race seat this Spring, so I have to have something comparable for the instructors. Would I need to put a brace on the back of this thing for the DE because it is out of date?

Good Question.....I dunno.....

They say safety equipment should be equal for both seats but I doubt anyone will "tech" you for a DE. It is probably your call and your instructor could decline the ride if he/she feels unsafe.

Here is the cheapest that i found online....well i guess the cheapest would be the one made in your garage.
