Sparco Rev seats -- which rails?
Anyone running Sparco Rev's on Buddy Club rails? I tried mounting them today, and it seems like the Revs are too skinny to fit on the rails when the sliding handle bar is used. I already tried using washers to space the seat out, but that didn't help enough.
Anyone have a similar experience?

OK, I take it no one has tried this then?
Let me rephrase my question: if you are using Sparco Rev (or Rev+), what rails are you using (other than Taitec, as I'm aware those will work)? And, was there any modification necessary?

Hey There
I have a Sparco REV Plus and i'm using a buddyclub seat rail. The seat is about 3/4 inch too narrow to line up with the rail. I mounted it with long bolts and spacers. The seating position is only lowered about an inch. Being that I'm 6"3 I need to be at least a few inches lower. I've looked over SOS rails but could never get a definate answer on whether they'll put me any lower. I'd be willing to sell the buddyclub rail as soon as I find a better alternative.

Remove the center pad in the seat. That will drop you down another 1"-1.5"

The rails mount to the car. It is then that the seat mounts will not come together enough to mount the seats. Correct? All you need is a replacement bracket that has more on the rail mounting side to alow you to adjust them in more.
Make sense?

I suppose a replacement bracket could work, but it would have to allow a LOT of leeway or have a sharp enough angle (maybe 10 deg instead of the current 45 deg) and length to reach the seats.
Any suggestions on what brackets I could use instead? Or would DIY self-fabrication be my only option here?
Thanks.

I tried using two washers as spacers on each side, but that didn't give it enough. Any more than two per side, I felt it would be unsafe to ride in.

ignition25 - Did you ever get this figured out?
I am experiencing the exact same problem and would like to resolve this issue.
Does anyone have ideas on brackets to account for the extra space?
