Default 18 inch Kirkey, Racecraft brackets install w/pics.

I didn't think it would fit but it did.


I bought the brackets from Racecraft inc.

http://www.racecraft.com/index.php?m...ex&cPath=77_80

I bought the seat used.

To get the brackets to fit I had to razor the carpet as these are made to go in a full blown race car. I pulled the jute off the back of the carpet where I split the carpet with a razor.



I also had to take a hammer to the trans tunnel floor rib under the console for the rear seat bolts.

.

Brackets on seat







Done.



If you use a narrower seat you may not need to cut the carpet and beat the inner rib down. With the factory seats back in you can't see anything I did to the carpet.


The seat is very low which is hard to do in these cars.

I hate to bring a 1.5 year old thread back from the dead but iv been thinking about running these seats.
People that have them how do you like them??
How comfortable are they for some street driving(less than 5k a year)?

I like the seats, I leave them in the car for 6 months or so at a time as we only run HPDE's in the winter months.

They do fine.
