Dont use that seat unless you plan on dying soon. Seriously. Only buy seats, harnesses, and other essential safety products from repubatble manufacturers. All safety items have to pass testing to make sure that they are at least the same if not better than OEM. These cheap eBay **** does not meet these standards because they are made in places like HK for export. I bet when you get that stuff it will say on it 'For Off Road Use Only' because it is not cert for use. Cancel that **** if I were you.

Those cheap seats are cheap for a reason. Same with seat brackets and harnesses.
Seats are actually a big piece of safety equipment. Same with seat rails and harnesses/belts (duh).
Even factory crash-tested seats deform in more major accidents. Recaro, Sparco, Bride, etc. also test their seats and offer safe upgrades. Smaller no-name companies often times don't.

What you're doing is taking tested factory stuff out and installing a cheap seat by a no-name manufacturer, held in by a no-name home brew bracket company (could be decent stuff, though. Maybe.), and strapping in with a pair of no-name harnesses. Not a bright idea.

There is something to be said about being a label ***** when it comes to upgrading parts that your life depends on. Not trying to be a dick, but the only part that I MIGHT trust out of your purchases would be the seat brackets.
