I searched and there were alot of threads asking how to mount them(kinda like this one) and no real answers.
So, I'm getting this seat:
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
I have a stock power driver seat in it now. If I went to this one, I would at least like to be able to move it back and forth towards the dash. Now, should I just find a manual camaro driver seat from the junk yard and get the underneath guts? Or could I take my manual passenger seat and steal the tracks from it? Is that possible?
I just need to know how to mount this seat and be able to adjust it back and forth. I have heard by someone who has done it(gave me very little info), that as long as I don't mind drilling new holes in my floor board, which I don't at all, that it will bolt right in. Any advice at all? Thanks guys.

Anybody know? I'm sure this seat is just like others. I just need to basically know that if get a manual driver seat, I can take the bottom from it and be able to install the summit one and be able to adjust it.

i put seats like that in my third gen. i made up some steel bracing. i put the factory seat sliders on the stock mounting location and bolted them down. then i bolted the steel bracing that i made to the bottom of the seat. then i sat the seat on the factory sliders and marked them with a sharpie. took it out of the car and put some tach welds on the bracing to hold them.

it all depends on how you want to adjust it, when I made my mount I drilled 3 sets of holes to allow for 3 positions of adjustment. I have to unbolt it, move it to the hole I want and bolt it back down...
You can see the additional mounting holes in this pic, sorry no other pics of the mount right now, but I can try and get more when I get the car back from getting the cage installed if you want more...

I have seen pics of guys using the factory manual slider, but I think it set the seat up too high for some guys, either way it shouldn't be too hard for you to get a manual slider and a thin (3/16 at least) plate of aluminum to span the 2 sides of the mount then mount the seat to the plate...

Ok. Well, summit has mounts specifically for this seat that you can buy to put in to the floor.
I thought, maybe I'll just do that and get a manual seat and make it work. I'm just not sure if it would all bolt together or if I really needed summits brackets.

Ok, so after looking around on summit's site some more, I found what I need.
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...1&autoview=sku
This will bolt directly to my summit seat and make me be able to slide it back and forth. All that will bolt onto the top of this:
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...1&autoview=sku
Which will then bolt into my floor board.
I should have read all the descriptions before hand. I wonder if that will bolt up to my stock seat bolts, or I really will have to drill holes into the floor pan.
