Seats...specifically the mounts...

Righto, whats the "done thing" in terms of seat mounts if you want to retain sliders ?

I'll be fitting a pair of buckets for harnesses and as there'll be some others driving my car I need to retain adjustability so no bolting the sidemounts down direct.

Ideally the seat should sit as low as possible.

Enlighten me

VAC transition mounts with recaro sliders.

Jay has milled some replica VAC mounts at half the price if you want to give them a go.

Yep, VAC mounts or Jay's replicas, recaro sliders and side mounts.

Ah this'll be the same Jay on Northloop who was posting up pics of his replicas and very fine they look too.

"Recaro Sliders" - can you bee a bit more specific ? As Recaro make some sliders for specific models, or you can get generic stuff.

Side mounts - ah man I've been badly own3d on seats and side mounts in the past, in the evo I went through three sets of runners before finding something that worked and fitted. Some sidemounts are made specific for the seat width, you'd think people would work to standards.....

Recaro are quite specific about which mounts to buy from memory.

They are the runners I have in my car.

yes indeed, I did end up with some sidemounts for a recaro XL seat which don't fit the standard sized seats. Neither fitted the sparco seats.

The runners good? Smooth action and lock firmly in place ?
