I modified one to fit a friends nissan. Wasn't too hard at all. Just cut and weld

 

anyone have the dimension and measurements for ek brackets?

 

made these for a customer a bit ago , turned out pretty neat.

OEM rails modded and 6061 alum.

 

^^

That looks nice! Were the holes added for cosmetic purposes?

thanks , the holes lighten the brackets up a bit and look nicey wiff the carbon...

 

you just gave me a good idea on how to mount mine. thanks!

 

werd.. that looks really nice..

 

where did you get the material for the brakets?

 

I made some this weekend for my sparco sprint.

Used two lengths of steel running perpendicular to the stock rails, and then two lengths of boxed steel (so the seat would sit higher) running parallel.

It was pretty simple in concept, but took me all day to do all the welding and measuring.

 

pictures?

The holes look like they were done on a punch press, then bent in a brake.

nope.

its L stock , meaning its bent already , I bought a 20ft lenth and cut if out on a metal bandsaw , drilled it on a Sears drill press , nothing special.

big uni-bit for the larger holes , chamfer them and DA it , after that polish it on the wheel and bolt it up.

 

nice.. how much did it all cost? and does metal supply house do mail orders? thanks...

its seat/car specific , not a one size fits all.

these were made for a very tall driver and wouldnt work for most average builds.

 

i mean the specs for the material.. i checked out the site but they have so many types.. thanks

 

pretty sure we used 1/4" , 2 x 2 ....

 

Hey thats adams car! (i was the one that picked him up and dropped him off)

Did do a good job on those brackets
