Default seat mounting for sparco race shells, pics finally----!

I was gonna post the pics here but I have them hosted in the yahoo DFH group.. wonder if it will handle traffic and my pic sizes okay, I'm not sure.

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-
