FAQ

Are custom colors and materials available for BRAUM seats?

Custom colors and materials can be provided at an additional cost and production time. Please contact us for details.

Can I order one seat?

BRAUM fixed-back seats can be ordered individually or in pairs. Unfortunately, reclinable seats can only be ordered in pairs, and both seats must be identical to each other.

Will the seats fit my car?

In order for one of BRAUM seats to fit in your vehicle, you will need two things: seat brackets made for your application, and sufficient interior room. If your seat bracket is not compatible with your vehicle, you will be unable to physically bolt down the seat. If you lack sufficient physical space or interior room, the seat might bolt up fine, but will not sit upright and in an appropriate orientation.

Do I need to order custom seat brackets?

Yes. Because of variations between floor shape and mounting locations across models, no single seat bracket can be used in every car. You will need a bracket made specifically for your vehicle in order to install any one of Braum seats. Thankfully they are affordable and easy to install.

How tall are the custom seat brackets?

Seat brackets range from 3/4” to 3” tall.

Are the seats compatible with factory air bags?

If your vehicle came with airbag-equipped seats, you cannot legally replace any of them with aftermarket seats and drive on public roads. You will either need to leave your factory seats or dedicate your vehicle for track use only.

What are the differences between 5 Point & 6 Point harnesses?

The difference between 5-point and 6-point harnesses is the number of individual straps and attachment points on your chassis. Each strap originates from different mounting locations, but converge together at one point, near the belly button. Five point harnesses have you guessed it five individual straps: two shoulder straps, one draped over each shoulder, two around the waist, and one in-between the legs, around the crotch. Six point harnesses have one additional strap between the legs (one wrapped around each leg).

Other differences between harnesses are color selection and safety certifications:

5 point harness:

• SFI approved
• Rating good for up to 2 years
• Choose from Red, Blue, Black, Green or Purple

6 point harness:

• FIA approved
• Rating good for up to 5 years
• Choose from Red or Black

The SFI and FIA rating these harnesses have been given signifies that they have been tested and proven to be safe for use in the most demanding racing conditions. If your sanctioning body conducts safety inspections, you must make sure your equipment is compliant. SFI-rated harnesses can be used for up to two years after their manufacturing date, while FIA harnesses can be used for up to five. 5 Point harnesses are SFI approved, while 6 point harnesses are FIA approved. This means that, if your seat can accommodate them, FIA-approved 6 point harnesses are the best choice for those with long-term plans for racing. Regardless, before making your purchase, please make sure to check the safety requirements of your specific local sanctioning body.

How do I clean my seats?

Normally, a simple vacuum and gentle scrub with a small amount of mild soap and warm water is sufficient. If you need to take more extreme measures, consult your local upholstery shop for the latest and greatest cleaning products.
