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.

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.

No thanks.

Things that hold me safe in an accident do not get hacked together.

I was very close to buying those seats and getting a set of brackets off ebay. Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you man.

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.

any word back from F1Spec??

 

I PM's them and all they have replied was "F1Spec: whicih seats did you buy from us , i would like to know thank you"

Not very helpful or appologetic

 

u do not want to run the memoryfab sliders?

those are known to work with these seats.

 

I'm outta money. Project cars fall way down the list behind house and family expenses.

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.

 

crappy, I wanted to buy these seats too, I dont wanna F around with figuring out what **** works with them. Hope you get your crap resolved to F1 spec for their cooperative help to ebay as usual

 

Bust out the drill homie.....nothing ever works right the first time when it comes to working on cars
