Default mounting a competition seat in a 78 SC

Will a Sparco or Recaro competition seat (with appropriate slider) mount directly to the Porsche seat rails?

I'm height challenged so I have to sit pretty close to the steering wheel. I'd like to have a slider to make it easier to get in and out of the car. I guess I can mount the seat directly to the floor without a slider and get a steering wheel quick release but this is my second option.

Recaro has made Porsche seat rails for years. You should have locking lugs on both sides for safety. On my SC, the drivers seat had a lug adjuster on one side and I added a passengers side adjuster for the other side of the drivers seat. Good for a chuckle when someone else tries to adjust the seat by using one adjuster.
