D.I.Y. Sparco seat mounts for OEM EG/EH/EJ sliderails
Anyhow, I mounted my Sparco Ultra seats to my OEM Honda 1992 Civic floor mounts and slide- rails in this manner, it works just great, only took a halfhour the ride height is about stock.
I had unbolted the stock seat cushion and seatback from the slide-rails, leaving everything possible... seatbealt buckle in tact on the rail and slider in good shape... cool.
I did have to grind off a bolt or two, that was easy with a Dremel and Grinding wheel bit.
Well I can't think of an easy way to get the seat any lower because it wont fit in between the mounts if I want to keep the sliders there.
I like sliders because it is my daily driver and on occasion a friend in need or instructor will autocross my car as well.
Dont mess with my blueprint techniques, I got da' skills but the software is at work, not here at home.
Once you get measuring in there you will figure it all out, I think I had the brackets 10.67" from each other front to back for my seats... that is from a metric Sparco dimension from their website, http://www.sparcousa.com where they list sizes for each seat, mount holes and if it has Bottom Fixing holes in the seat .
The best part is that a piece of aluminum like this, 4 pieces cut each to about 18" or a little less, will be super cheap, maybe $15 or less. NICE!
Add in metric bolts, a few metric nuts, a Dremel, a powerdrill and some good drillbits then you are good to go. Here is the pics--- hope these work...
