   don't hold me to this, i'm not a massive saxo expert but on alot of cars where your seat belt clips into is a pre tensioner, in a crash a little explosion goes off inside this and pull the seatbelt tight around you

   are you going to use standard seatbelts with the buckets or harness's?

   well they can be bolted to bucket subframes, keeping them will keep the airbag light off

    Disconnect the battery, leave 30 mins. Fit the seat and what not, re-connect battery, job's a good 'un.
