Probably not. Usually the brackets can only be used with that brand of seat. Unless they're universal...
you'd probably be better off lurking moar man. check the interior section, I'm sure you could get some more results

Sometimes you can mix and match brackets, but not always. It usually depends on the seat width.

Just for clarification, a "racing" seat does not recline, usually carries an FIA certification, and is usually intended to be used with a racing harness and roll cage. A "sport" (aka "tuning") seat may look very similar, but usually reclines, is usually much more comfortable, is usually intended for use with the stock street-legal restraint system, and is not certified for any type of racing.

LOL, yeah, the cage was designed and built by a NASCAR inspector who worked at a shop specializing in movie stunt cars. My primary fabricator told the roll cage designer that I am paranoid, so I think he decided to "go large", hehehe. Technically it is only built to SCCA IT/EP specs, so it doesn't have reinforcing gussets, engine bay bars, or any intentional frame stiffening. I also have FIA padding not shown in the picture.

Oh, and as for the Momo 1000 Lakes seats, I really like them. My other RX-7 had the cheaper Momo Start (Rookie) seat, and it was pretty spartan. Most of you guys would probably rather have sport seats as opposed to actual racing seats.

You can somewhat see my old Momo Start seat here. The roll cage is smaller and has the cheaper SFI padding because the car is lighter and the engine only has about 100hp to the wheels, although this was one of the faster cars at DGRR for the last 2 years.
