Hi Guys

Just bought a Sparco seat, anyone knows where to get the seat bracket and rails to make it fit in the B14?

You might want to try Wedge Engineering in Long Beach, CA. This number I have maybe old, but you can give it a try... 562-633-1663.

You could also try the el-cheapness method by getting some metal beams at your local hardware store and weld up your own seat bracket. :D That's what I ended up doing with my Sparco seat... One of the best ~$10 bucks I ever spent!

Your $10 is indeed well spent. I figure the bracket would cost at least $70. Did you take any pictures when you weld it on?

I took my stock seat apart and used the factory slider.http://www.lunspeedracing.homestead.com/files/wade__interior.jpg

Unfortunately, we (me and the person who actually made/welded the bracket) didn't get any photos. Heck, we might even end up getting rid of the bracket and start from scratch (not anytime soon, though). The seat is still mounted a little high, though quite lower than the stock position. We'll need the seat low enough so our helmeted heads are about 2" below the top of the soon-to-be-fabricated rollcage.

My seat is mounted high too, when i autocross the helmet almost touches the roof, so you might want to splurge a little ang get the wedge engineering ones, for some reason racing seats tend to sit high in our cars even more if you are using a slider, i had this problem with both seats i had in the car.

But even if I get the Wedge Engineering bracket the seat will still sit too high right? I need to do autocrossing and I'm not a short person. Even now with stock seat, with me in the car with helmet on I don't have a lot of head room left. Is the slider universal? or do I have to get an aftermarket slider specifically for the SER.

Aside from the bracket, I believe it also depends on the seat. If you got one of those non-reclining shell seats (Sprint, Evo, Rev, etc.) you'll definitely sit lower. I recall Naji got a Wedge Engineering bracket for his Corbeau Targa RS seat, and it sat a little high for him. He got a smaller helmet and modified the bracket so that it'll sit lower and problem solved. I guess your best bet would be to tell Wedge Engineering to make a bracket that would position the seat lower than the stock seat position. As for the slider, I believe it is universal, but don't quote me on it.

Corbeau also makes seat brackets. Seems to sit very nice in Peter's 200sx. (Nyce)

Thanks guys. I'll do some research then decide what to get. I'll let you guys know when I get a chance.

Yeah its a nice setup. It did sit kinda high also when i had my helmet on but besides that its a good deal.
