RX-8 seats in an FC

I know I've seen it before - RX-8 seats in an FC. I've got the FC, I've got the RX-8 seats, now where on earth do I get the brackets to mount them? I want them to sit as low as possible. Is there a website that happens to sell the conversion brackets, or will I have to order them custom? And if I order them custom, will I be able to just tell them that I want the seat to sit as low as possible, mount to an FC chassis and have the holes to fit the RX-8 seat or will I have to take it to a local place so they can do measurements?

I've searched this sub-forum as well as the interior forum and came up with nothing, although I've sure its come up before.

I'd imagine they will have to be custom made locally.

What kind of shop would custom make brackets for this sort of application?

Not that this helps too much...
I've heard of guys building the brackets themselves. Try searching around here pretty hard.
