Sparco seat base
I have a Sparco Sprint seat that I'm looking to put in on the passenger side of my '91 Si. Was about to go with Buddy Club rails until I found out they have fitment issues wth this model car for some reason. So I was looking into just getting the Sparco base simply to mount the seat. My question is, does the base mount have a location for the seat belt buckle to bolt into? Tried messaging Sparco but I haven't heard anything back, not surprised.

If I recall, I used a piece of 2" x 4" box steel to go between the seat and the slider on one side, and mounted the other slider directly to the seat base. I used the 2" portion for the height difference, and the 4" portion to make the width correct for the mounting of the slider to the floor of the car.
If this doesn't make sense, PM me, and I will try to explain.
I actually found the EF to be the easiest generation chassis to mount an aftermarket seat in. Since the OE seat sliders mount on the bottom of the seat, it should be relatively easy to simply space out the sliders from under the seat, to get a flat mounted seat.

That being said, does ANYONE have this base mount? Has anyone simply bolted the seat directly to the base without the use of sliders or side mounts? I just want to be able to mount the seat to the base(since it's the passenger seat, I don't care about sliding the seat). I also don't want to have to purchase the side mounts. I haven't looked at my Sparco Sprint seat in a little bit but I'm pretty sure it has threaded bolt holes on the bottom side.
If anyone has directly mounted the seat to the base, please let me know. Pictures would be great!
Thanks!
