new batch of bucket seat mounts

they look very good !! , but they dont accept a 445 mm seat like the evo2 sparco?

they go for sure to 440mm, but there is a little bit of room. You can still enlarge the slotholes by 2mm each side and that will also work.
BUT it depends where your door bars are. I will trial fit a set tomorrow to my car and show you how far they will be apart.

 

my doorbars are welded to the A and B pillar , as far as it goes

UPDATE on postage:

Royal mail to UK mainland is £13.20 for ONE set of mounts (1 seat)
£25.20 for TWO sets. And that is only what Royal mail charges, no wrapping so far.
I am going to use this as long nobody has any objections or can point me to a cheaper courier. you are very welcome to collect if you are near me (postcode LU6)
I am working on the US shipment cost, please be patient.

 

it depends how far IN your door bars are located taking width away to fit a seat. Have you got a seat fitted right now? Do you mind mailing me a picture? I can offer you to take the mounts back if they are not suitable for your application, but there will still be the postage back and forth which may make it not worthwhile.
I am toying with the idea of just making one narrow mount for the driver side, but given the low quantity required, it will be costly. What are you fitting on the passenger side?

 

think it was you who told me about these guys Uwe ??????

no seats fitted at the moment , but i can put 1 in and take some pictures , i have 1 sparco evo and 1 sparco evo2 , at the moment i have modified sparco seatbrackets but not 100% happy , the doorbars are as far away from the seat as it goes , i try to make some pictures soon ,
Arjan
ps , when you fit a 445 mm seat between the brackets , how widht are the brackets then on the bottem ? the widest dimension ? , i mean how far do they bend in if you understand what i mean?

 

I have tried a set of brackets yesterday and they accept 440 wide seats.
They can accept wider seats, but the transtunnel is trying to "bend" the inner mount out of vertical (if that makes any sense). I am 95% sure you will be fine with 445mm and a little bit enlarging the slot holes for the bolt pattern. I am just cocncered that the seat will sit to far to the door bars. will post the pics soon

 

i understand you , but did you understand my ps ?? if they bend further in then the sparco brackets then they wil not fit
Arjan

I am awaiting shipping costs to the US.

Arjan, drawing will follow ASAP
