Default Seat Options Help Needed

Looking for a new set of seats for YUM

Do look the like of the Recaro SPG XL but if im correct in saying they are a side mounted seat so the cant have adj runners? Am l right?

Really need the seats to have adj runners as both me and helen will be driving yum and really dont want to have to keep unbolting the seat for adjustment

Anyone know?


Cheers

You can normally mount side mounted seats onto the original runners, maybe with a little bit of fabrication, but its easily done.

Ive got Cobra Suzuka GT in mine and they bolt (using the supplied Cobra sidemounts) pretty much straight onto the standard runners.

Only issue with bolting buckets on top of original runners is that when wearing a helmet you may hit the roof or bang against the rollcage (if fitted).

If a cage is being fitted have tube welded across the floor to mount the runners too.

If you have the bars mounted failry low then you should be able to fit runners on to them easily enough. Still leaving you with enough head room once bucket seat you and helmet are fitted.
