Sorry, DEMONBIRD has got me wanting new seats. Those of you with aftermarket 'racing' seats, what did you do for the bracket and to get it to work out? I know there is one manufacturer who sells them but they are $65 a piece which is expensive for a piece of metal.

I have sparco milanos and love them. The brackets were expensive but, they did fit pretty nice and I was happy to have to do little alterations. Whick bracket you need will depend on which aftermarket seat you get.
good luck
drag section may be better if your looking for really light (kirky) seats

For Cerullos I used 1" boxed steel (bolted it straight across the seat bottom and then the rails bolted to the steel towards the center).
For the Summit seats I bolted them to holes in the seat (the rail's hole and seat bottom matched up) then on the front holes I drilled holes in the seat bottom (it has a metal frame) and just used a nut and bolt on the front (and a spacer actually since the seat bottom was curving away from the frame)...
Hopefully I'll have the Arizens/MadRacing seats by Christmas and I can post up what needs to be done for those...
To be honest, if you have a dremel and cordless drill you can go buy a piece of flat steel (which you can get from any hardware store) you'll be set to make whatever you need.
If you don't have these items you can go buy them (again at any hardware store) and spend the same if not less than you would on the brackets BUT you would have a dremel and cordless drill for future projects as well now .

I used the stock rails to mount mine on. Like DemonBird Said..you just need to make a bracket..
