    FHR/HANS question

    Has anyone experience using an FHR/HANS device in the Stratos?
    I'm finally getting out of the house and signing up for a (social distanced!) track day later this month only to find the club has recently mandated FHR devices for any car with a full harness. Plenty of choices out there but because of the Covid situation there are no shops open for me to try before buying, only mail order.
    I'm concerned about getting the angle right - HANS come in 20, 30, etc deg versions. I've Sparco EvoII seats which are tilted back to the max allowable by the standard Sparce mount giving the seatback a 35 deg angle from vertical (measured using a large protractor). It measures about the same when I'm belted in with the protractor on my chest. Does this seem about right, implying a 30deg device should work ok? There are adjustable ones available but quite a bit more expensive which'd be nice to avoid.
    Second question relates to ingress/egress and general maneuverability - anyone with experience in this regard?
    Thanks in advance!
