Default F1Spec Seats and Weapon-R brackets

I guess I get what I pay for.

I bought some F1Spec seats from Ebay, but still directly from F1Spec, and I bought some Weapon-R brackets from a Weapon-R approved seller. The Weapon-R bracket is the exact one mentioned by F1Spec to fit these seats.

Here are the results.

The Weapon-R brackets DO NOT FIT, THEY ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE DO NOT BOTHER

These are pics of the Weapon-R bracket ATTEMPTING to fit to my F1spec seat.
The first pic is unaltered, the second i have drawn the holes on the seat in white and the holes on the bracket in red.

The Seat and Bracket were UNMOVED for all of these pictures.

2:




3:




Its not like these brackets come close, they are OFF BY MORE THAN AN INCH IN EVERY DIRECTION.

I could only get ONE OUT OF THE FOUR bolt hole to line up to ANY of the holes on the seat.

I would have investigated further about other brackets except that F1Spec himself said they would bolt right up.

Dont bother, these brackets are a WASTE OF MY TIME AND MONEY!!!

I am not even remotely pleased. My entire budget for seats has been spent and I now have no money to spend on more brackets or seats.

Anyone want to buy my seats or brackets?

I have posted this in F1Specs thread as well.

And i do not think this is Weapon-R's problem, they jsut sell brackets, F1Spec was the one that told me Weapon-R's brackets would fit F1Spec's seats.

Thats what I'm hoping to let people know. These seats, or at least this combination of seats and brackets is a waste of your time and money.

Makes me wish I had just saved up for some buddy clubs, Sparcos or Recaros like I had originally wanted.

Yes some kind person, I believe it may have been you, tried to warn me about the Weapon-R brackets not fitting, but by then I had already ordered them.
