Default Sparco seats - bolting in the slider, question...

Have Sparco seats, sliders and brackets, harnesses etc sitting around and figured Id throw them in the 951 for the summer track events. On the entry side the slider bolted right in - on the tunnel side not so much.




Is there any reason not to use the front bolt as-is on the tunnel side and drill a new hole in the rear of the slider to mate to the factory hole?




I then could use these as the stock Sparco tubes are not wide enough: http://www.stableenergies.com/Seat-S...nfo/BK%2D9045/

Seems like Id be good to go after that but...you know how it goes so I figured Id check. Thanks!

Sometimes they get off a tooth from side to side. You should bolt from the front first and then the rear. much easier that way.

You do know, that once you bolt those in, you're going to have to remove them to put the seats on them.

i think that pic was for comparison- since he is saying that they wont bolt directly in. Looks like an adapter plate may be necessary.

Yeah - it was just for comparison. They will def be in/out a few times while I figure out fitment.

The entry side is good to go. My plan tomorrow is to drill a hole for the rear bolt into the slider on the tunnel side and bolt the sliders in...not going to hurt anything and its free...then Ill mess with seat fitment to the sliders.

Dan I sent you an email re: the hole I need to drill for the tunnel with a pic I found with no carpet.
