im looking at how i can mount my bucket seat into the corsa b v6 drag car.
i currently have it on the original height adjuster runner, then 2 heavy bits of angle iron each side and then the seat
even after iv cut and drilled fuck out of the angle iron its still a really heavy set up...
so im looking at other ways and this ones seem appealing....


(sorry only pic i can find on google)

question about it though, does it go through the tunnel where the exhaust is or just weld onto the tunnel inside of the cab?

only using the one seat here

you mean those black frames you put in at the beginning?

hmmm not what im looking at/thinking about...

your seats side mounted too... mine have x4 13mm nuts screw up from underneath

im thinking something along the lines of two bits of bar going across but wanting to see where abouts they weld onto best...

yeah sweet. welded mine in properly today... its low and a little on the too far forward side but not too bad, i couldn't really go any further back without doing more work... should be fine.
just a spreader plate for the eye bolt to weld in now
cheers
