To mount mine, I just took the stock sliders and welded some square tubing to it that I could then mount the seat to. Worked out pretty good.

Good choice on Kirkey. I use the intermediate road race seat.

Hmm. I found these ones:





I don't have any pics of the fabrication, but it was pretty easy. Rip stock sliders off seat, bolt them back in the car, cut a few pieces of 1.5" square tubing to size, shim up with more tubing until level, then weld in place. To attach the seat to the bars I drilled and tapped 6 holes, then drilled holes in the base of the seat and attached with bolts and big area washers (to prevent pull-through in case of an accident)

Then I prettied it up by attaching some vinyl between the seat and sliders.

I ended up just buying the universal ones. They weren't all that bad on the wallet.
