A product modification idea for your front seat mount: You currently list the mount as being for OEM seats only and based on your mounting design (drilled holes for the seat rails), I see why that will not work for aftermarket seats. I think you'd find if you modified the holes into "slots' you'd be able to use the mount on both OEM and aftermarket seats. I'm pretty sure this will work for you as it did for me on my "SBG" replica one-off I made. My mounting solution was just like yours and when I went to Sparco seats, it no longer worked. Found if I turned the holes into "U" slots, the mount easily accommodated my new Sparcos. If you make this modification, I think you'll accommodate everyone's needs. Food for thought. I am interested in such solution and keep the extinguisher within arm's reach. Im interested to see how you mounted yours if you don't mind of course |

The idea I posted up earlier as a potential for you guys was to modify the rail mounting holes, Instead of having a hole that attaches the mounting bracket to the rails and the seat bolts, use a "U" slot or make it a longer slot versus the round holes. By doing this, you've got a good bit of adjustability width wise to make the seat mount section work with wider (or smaller if needed) widths.
When I made my SBG like seat mount a few years ago, I made it for the OEM seats so I had one hole on each side with the width of both holes fitting the stock rails and seat locations. Recently I picked up a sponsorship from Sparco for a set of EVO seats so I needed to modify the mounting positions. I found out the Sparco seat mounting holes are wider than the OEM seat positions, so the easy solution was to simply extend the round holes into slots. By doing this, my extinguisher mount, originally used on the OEM seats, now also fits the Sparco seats as well. I am not able to post up a pic here, but click on the link in my sig to my "Never Ending 3 Rotor Conversion" and go to the last post, #3658. The pic shows how the mounting bracket fits with the Sparcos. I obviously haven't tried this with other seats as I don't sell product, but it's food for thought on how a small modification to the SBG system might make it work for aftermarket seats and open up a larger market for you. Regarding the seat adjustments, if you are referring to the sliders, most rails have the levers on the sides so that would not interfere. My rails (Bride LowMax) use a lever on the front but it fits below the mounting bracket and is easily accessible for use as it looks like it would be on your bracket as well. Hope this helps. |
Our fire extinguishers (Halon and Halotron) are now on sale till the end of the month with a purchase of the FD rear mount or seat mount!
Please use the coupon code 'FireSale!' at checkout once you have added a mount and extinguisher to your cart. Good until midnight 3/31 :icon_tup: |
This safety mod is a small price to pay compared to the price of a whole new car, and countless hours of labor. We all take pride in the cars we've built or are in the process of building, yet so many of us don't believe a fire can destroy what we've built in minutes.
One of our customers lost his recently finished 02 FD after an engine fire consumed the entire car. He was nice enough to send us before and after pictures. Needless to say he's purchasing both of our mounts to ensure his new FD doesn't suffer the same fate.
