Racing Seat installation

Jaxjags2100 · Jan 26th, 2005, 04:07 PM

I bought some aftermarket racing seats that didn't come with brackets. I ordered some brackets off of Ebay, but they don't fit. Anyone have any experience in this area that would be able to point me in the right direction? Thanks.

What brand are ur seats?

The best way to have done it, is to get the Nismo Seats off ebay. Yea they are knockoffs, but looks hella better than stock and are cheap. Then you have to get the brackets. Most brakets off ebay only fit a certain type of seat. Even with the brakets i got, i still had to fabricate them a bit welding some stuff....sorry =/

could you use the stock seat brackets or would they not fit on the seats?

Jaxjags2100 · Jan 27th, 2005, 04:21 AM

Stock brackets won't fit. I found a company called WedgeEngineering someone suggested on another post. Wondering if it's the same as the Wedge Industries you mentioned earlier. They're located in Cali too. So you said the brackets you got from them fit perfectly?

Corbeau sells brackets/sliders for the B13/B14
You will still need to do some welding, unless you get Corbeau seats.

Well I picked up my seats off of Ebay, that's the dilemma.

i am having a little trouble with the driver but its only like a 1/4" off when i slide it near the hole nothin a hammer cant fix.

Its already been mentioned but just buy the corbeu seat brackets and redrill the holes that what I did not to hard
I had to lie saying that I had corbeu seats because they only sell brackets if you have there seats will not sell the bracket by itself
unless you find a dealer that can order them in for you else you lie to corbeu
