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 have the Cobra Suzuka kevlar seats. They are mounted on Cobra side-mount brackets, which give some adjustability via different holes you can use to attach the seat on the front and rear. I can't weld (yet) so they are bolted to the floor using robust hardware and I reinforced the mounting surfaces with flat steel stock for good measure. I cut out part of the cross-brace on the floor, just where the seat brackets needed to go.
This setup is very sturdy and I've been happy with it, although if/when I learn how to weld I will at least weld the steel reinforcements and possibly the actual brackets to the floor. |
