I’m curious to see how others have bolted up their aftermarket seats in their cars.

i have a sparco rev (side mounted) bolted up to modified stock rails.  
im picking up a different bottom mount bucket, and just wondering the best way to install it, keeping saftey, and legality in mind.

thanks

but so does sidemount on stock sliders!

im going to have a friend help me fab up some bottom mount rails, using the stock rails for sizing only, then fabing up using demensions etc, so it likely will sit stock, or just alittle lower.

no sliders, solid mount…

it’ll be fun
