Brad,
Andy has told me about doing that, Seats to the floor, is there ANY way of keeping
the adjustability when doing that?

Is is not possible to bolt the 'adjustable-part' of the seat to the floor, with
the seat?

The adjuster adds a min of 2 inches to the seat heigth. I honestly dont care whether people besides me can drive my cars...soo they get mounted where I want them. Think about how many other people drive your car.

True, very true....

but what about when it comes time to sell?

Just bolt the adjuster back in?
Course IF you've put a much better seat in, you could just leave it, but
the new owner's legs might not be the same length as your own.

I would offer to re-mount the seat for the new owner or install the OE peices.

Brad,
Can you post any pictures of the seat brackets. My seats are OMP and are now mounted to the stock mounts with a little fabrication of the sliders.
Thanks
Van

Van,

When I posted I looked for a shots in my pic collection and didnt find anything. They are billet alum mounts that have 5 slots in the front and 3 in the rear for "tilting" the seat. They bolt to the sides of the seat and bolt flat to the floor. In SCCA we have to run a seat back brace if we dont use a FIA approved seat. Installing a seat back brace in a 914 is not much fun so we run the FIA approved seats which are actually crash tested unlike all the aluminum dirt track seats you see people using.

You may want to check for e-brake handle clearence with that wood. There isn't a lot of room there. Nice bolstering.

I mounted the seat in the car and checked the adjusters, but did not think about the ebrakes. I've not yet added ebrakes to my 5 lug conversion. Thanks for the info back to the basement to check this.

My V8 914 has a MICO inline brake switch, activated with igniton on, push a button under the dash, Acts just like the park brake is on, I even tried to see if I could break it loose. Car running in gear, let out clutch, stayed in place. Deactivate the brake, by pushing on the brake pedal brakes off. Works for me.

CAMPNEEDHELPHERE,

I need something like your ebrake.

My rear brakes are not the stock caliper...
My car has no alternator, so I do not want to turn it off to check my time after each run (Its how we do it in our group)
So, an inline switch that can be turned on or off while the car is runnig would be great...I just need to put a safety cover over the switch so there is no chance of hittiing it during a run. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Where did you get it, what is it? what color? are they free? can you install it in ten minutes, or ten hours???

I bent my ebrake handle to allow my seat to fit.. Ebrake works, it just rubs the seat when engaged..

It is a problem..

Rich, Good evening. The MICO brake lock was on the car when I purchased it. Iwould say looking at the instructions it would fall into the weekend project category.
It is a switch that looks like a brake lite switch, which installs in line in the brake system.
I have an address for the company on east and west coast, also ph. numbers.
I would be happy to fax the information that I have or try calling the MICO Co.
MICO EAST
1911 Lee Blvd.

MICO WEST
