Exclamation Installing Racing Seats....

I was just wondering, since the maker of my seats doesent have brackets available for my application....

i have these seats....



they have what appears to be universal sliders with them, what can i do to install them myself?, is there any place i can purchase brackets from?...

Thanx....

get a set of stock sliders from the wrecking yard, drill the mounts to fit your seats and install.

if you're worried about s4 sliders not compatible with s5, what's wrong with your current tracks? and as karack stated, it's best to measure the holes and drill your stock seat tracks. that's what i did....

more than likely your stock sliders will be too narrow or to wide to re-drill so
use a 1/8-1/4" piece of alumium to make a adapter. center the al. and drill
both hole patterns and mount the seat and the slider to the plate. re-install
in the car then your done!
