Can I use a poly seat in stock eliminator? and Do I have to have a radio? I would like to put a switch panel in where the radio hole is in the dash but have the radio if needed

On the radio only if it has an 8 track. BP

Male sure you keep the heater controls in place, they get upset when those are missing.
Also be sure to anchor the drivers seat back to the roll bar , if your car has one .
If your budget can stand the extra $200 bucks ,I'd go with an aluminum seat .
Weight is usually just about the same as the poly seat and much stronger and safer , in my opinion.

Agreed on the aluminum seats. Huge improvement in every way over the plastic stuff, except for maybe cost.

I think you're required to have the matchbook and hex shaped pencil as well if running the 8-track player.

If I get aluminum seats do I need a cover or can I run a bare aluminum seat? Im not worried about comfort... Im not racing for 500 miles.. I just think the covers they make for the aluminum kirkey or Jaz seats are extremely ugly.....
