hey guys i’ve been tryin to get these in without having to buy the sparco kit which is about 200 a seat so i tried welding the 240 rails to a peice of steel and then bolted the steel to the seat. unfortunaly it sits up so much that the headrest is touching the seat. i know i prob just need to keep mucking about with it but i just wanted to come on here and see if anyone knows of a quicker easier way then trial and error. thanks!

Headrest touches the seat? Do you mean roof by any chance?

tbh, i wouldnt trust 240 rails wiht anything other that 240 seats. Just buy the base and sliders. or just the base./
