I plan on using a Kirkey aluminum road race seat. Is it feasible to bolt the stock sliders to the seat bottom and use the stock seat rails? Anyone have experience with this? Recommendations on seats or mounting setups?

Please post pictures of your setups.

Thanks in Advance,

Michael

I did not remove the cross box section. I wanted to keep the strength it provided across the floor. The seat I used had a dual piece bottom so the rear part sat on the floor and the front angled part essentially sat on the box section. I never liked the feeling of movement with any of the movable seats I tried and I felt much more solid once the aluminum seat was bolted down. Since I was an old guy, it was a bit hard getting in and out so that forced me to get the steering wheel removable which turned out great. One thing I did eventually that was not in the article was to lower the steering column mount at the bottom of the dash by about an inch since before that the wheel always felt too high.
