How to Install Racing Seats W/Stock Brackets & Silders

Post by 93BlackMX3 »

I'm going to explain how to install racing seats on stock silders and brackets with only $10 to spare and some time and effort.

I bought:

4 of these Image

Here is an actually picture of what I used.

Heres My Stock Seats Compared to my New Seats

Lets Begin...

Step 1: Remove the seats from the car.

Step 2: Flip the seat over and look for the 4 gold bolt holding the seats to the rails. Remove all 4 screws.

Heres a picture of the 4 bolts I am speaking of.

Step 3: Take your racing seat and using the bolts supplied with your racing seats, bolt the back two bolts into the racing onto the stock rails.

The top two holes are the ones you'll bolt the stock sliders/brackets to.

Step 4: Find where the front holes from racing seats sit above the rails and mark it for drilling.

Step 5: It's up to you if u remove the seat for drilling or not but it makes it easier. Drill the holes and remember to make the holes a little bigger then necessary. I made them more oval so I can align it better later.

The farther left holes are my drilled holes.

Step 6: Here's where the parts come into play. One side of the stock brackets sit lower on one side then the other. Your going to use the long bolts on the lower side and the long nuts as a spacer to level the racing seat. Use the regular bolts the racing seats came with on the other side. Also use the 1 or two spacers that came with the racing seats to level out the higher side. Use your judgement and your eye.

Example
Lower side has the Long Spacer and Long Bolt.

The higher side has the bolts and spacers that came with the racing seat. I used one spacer but you can use two on top of each other to bring up that side of the seat.

Step 7: Once you have bolted all 4 bolts and put two long nuts on each of the lower sides of the brackets, you can bolt your seats into the car.

Enjoy My Mod! :welder:

Nice tutorial!

Simple, cost effective, and durable I'd say.

I'd have to go out and measure but I remember they are roughly the length of the 4 spacers together.

Sorry to bump a year and a half year old post, but any chance of redoing this listing to fix the pictures that are no longer viewable?
