Aftermarket Seats...Mounting ????
Aftermarket Seats...Mounting ???? I just got my set of racing seats in for the SS and I believe I have came up with a pretty good idea of mounting them, but I just wanted to see if anyone out there has taken pics of their install or if anyone has made a thread about making any custom mounts to get them to fit correctly.
My biggest deal is getting the head/top of the seat to sneak under my roll cage that way if needed I can take advantage of the tilt the seats offer.
Also the seats are a bit wider than the stockers, just wondering what kind of compensation some of you guys made to get everything right. Yet again my roll cage pipes have to ran down the sides without interferring with the door panel and the seat itself. Maybe some of you guys with cages and aftermarket seats can chime in for me...
If anyone has any input...Let me hear it.!

I put those in my 1995 Trans-Am. I actually just bolted the stock rails to the seats.
I had to drill one hole in the seat bottom (in part of the metal) and use a bolt, nut and spacer (all that was for the front hole, the back hole bolted right to the seat).
They sat WAY too high for me... You can forget about going under a roll cage, they hit the t-tops when tilted forward. Again, that was mounting them on stock rails.
If you get the brackets they make so that you can use the universal sliders than it will sit as low as factory. I know where you can get some but they aren't a sponsor so PM me if interested.
