Those with Jazz Racing Seats How did you all do your brackets? Does Jazz make one that I can slide forward, is there a way to modify the stock passanger seat bracket or what? I need to get mine in the car.
If you have a diagram or anything that would help.

Jazz Racing seat Chris- I just installed one in the Grocery Getter, but It's a real pain. I hope someone chimes in and has a good answer. I got the jaz sliding mounting brackets , but I had to use 1 inch aluminum square tubing and made brackets using the existing rear studs and I had to drill for the front holes. It sits a little too far forward than I like, but it's solid and ideal for racing. Coach has a Jaz seat in his car , maybe he'll jump in here and give us some pics of his brackets. I think Thunder did his. Hopefully there is a direct bolt in kit available. I can shoot some pics of mine if you like , but I'm going to have to get it moved back a bit before I'm happy. Good luck.

I mounted mine in a fixed position, but with this setup you could mount slider brackets also. Since the stock bolts are in such an odd configuration and wider than the JAZ mounting points, I added a 1/4" aluminum to create a flat mounting surface. For me, I mounted the seats directly to the new aluminum sheet which lowered the seats. I'm happy with the end results. Here's the pic I have on file.

Chris,
I have a JAZ aluminum racing seat. Madman did the install for me. He made a really cool mounting bracket that mounts the seat to the floor. He also made a head rest mounting bracket to meet the safety regulations of both IHRA and NHRA. Also, the saftey belts have to be mounted on the roll cage coming through the seat.
I could not have done the seat by myself. I do not have the mad skills of Madman. He is the Fab Guru!
I can't take any pics right now Iam in Oklahoma visting family for the holidays.
Everyone have a Happy and Safe Holiday.
