The first set will be non slider adjustable floor mounts. We will work on a cage mount and hpope to have a solution at the same time.

So the first setup will require you to unbolt the seat and move it to one of 4-5 sets of tabs to change mount location.

We may look at a slider setup.

The problem is the cage mount. Using a slider with a cage mount may not be that easy.

Question? Do you want to see a crotch strap bar incorporated into the 1st design?

On the JEGS website there is a cage mount for the economy and prostreet seat that welds to the crossbar on the main hoop , to the down bar of the main hoop, and to the door bar. They don't have sliders but are pretty trick looking. They sell for 71.99 and I think Kirkey actually makes them. I am not saying that the other guy in this thread doesn't make good stuff. I am just posting cause it was the first set I saw like that.

On the seat brackets you're incorporating, will it bolt on to the original mounting bolt on the floor?
