Default welding sparco seat to factory bracket

Anyone done this before? pros and con's to this?!?!? Im buyind a pair of Torinos next friday and I been tossing this idea around, just not sure how it would work out.

I really dont like the fact that sparco brackets sit the seat up pretty high, on my boys' 240 the seat practically rubbs with the top of the roof when he tries to tilt it forward. I want to try to keep the factory height as much as possible..


and insight or info on this would be nice.



Thanks,

-B

yeah, you're pretty much going to have to do custom mounts. measure twice, cut once.

The stock sliders are kinda weird, not flat on one side, so you will have to do some cutting and what not and make some adapter peices
