Default Sparco bucket w/ what bracket/slider?

I have a small problem. I have a sparco Corsa bucket seat, however i need to find out what low position seat bracket/sliders will fit on it. I am currently running Sparco steel sidemounts, spaco sliders, and the diamond cut sparco base. The problem is that my seat has a lot of side to side play because of the sliders--which has almost not passed me through tech at track days. Sparco says that the side mounts weren't meant to be attached to the sliders (sliders were meant for bottom mount seats), that the side mounts were meant to bolt directly down to the seat base and have no forward/backward adjustment. This is a problem because i am only about 5'6" and w/ the seat mounted directly to the base as far as it can go forward, i can hardly reach the peddles. Short story--i need adjustment.

I talked to Mark at SP Engineering and he said he's pretty sure Bride Bracket/slider combo's won't fit on my sparco seat. Any of you have experience with this? I want people that are certain about what will fit, not bunch of weak speculation. If you or you know anybody w/ a sparco bucket running some sort of slider mechanism, what are they using? thanks.

You can always get them custom fabricated Dont do that though, unless you are for sure they can do it right. If it is a bucket seat than why would it slide? Dont they sit in one position?

MemoryFab has a set of rails/brackets that will fit it and they're almost rediculously low. They're also comparitively light when weighed against many of the other rail/bracket combinations on the market.

yes, it's a fixed back (bucket set), but i still need forward/backward adjustability.

I'm using MemoryFab rails with my Bride right now, but they have enough adjustability to work with just about anything.
