Default Bride seats bracket?

Hey guys, I picked up a pair of Bride reps a couple days ago and I was just wondering what other parts I need before I can install them. It came with some rails but I was told that I still need to buy a seat bracket before I can install them. Can someone elaborate please? I have a '99 EK. I'm a noob at this. If someone can point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.

(Tried using the search function, but couldn't find what I was looking for)

I understand why ppl buy the reps(budget/lack of knowlage) but fitment and safety are big problems with these e-bay seats and rail/brackets. Since you have the seats might as well get some brackets/rails off e-bay a quick search will find them.

Thanks for the response. Yes, i got these due to low budget. I am buying name brand harnesses though. Do you know if the rails in the picture will fit? Some stores sell only the rails for the seats claiming it will bolt right up.

to hard to tell, try bolting them up and see if anything is missing. Btw if you do a harness you HAVE to get a harness bar also don't try to find/drill holes. You'r endangering you'r self even more than you would with the OEM 3pt belts.

Alright, I'll do that. If they dont line up, i guess i'll have to get the seat bracket. I know about the harness bar and i dont care too much about not being able to have passengers in the back seats haha. Thanks for the info!

The rails will probably fit but the brackets are rather pricey. Are they side mounted?

Looks like the brackets aren't the only thing you're missing.

Just great. Is this really necessary though? I wasn't sure if this part was to make the seat sit higher.

Tell me about it. I'm not trying to spend a lot of money making these seats fit but it's probably the safest way to go about it. The rails go under the seat and will be "parallel" to your legs if you were sitting down on the seat.

You can get the Buddy club Low down seat rails and sliders.... Or there is also a set made my F-1 Spec which is similar in construction.
I believe they get them from their sister company called private label manufacturing.
