Post Sparco seat setup: rails/sliders/brackets

Hello,
I am in need of 2 sparco seat install setups.
I need for both seats:

1. Brackets for both seats (for mounting)
2. Rails & sliders

Let me know if you guys have any; if not. please let me know where I can get some.

***** Also, once I get the whole setup, who do you guys recommend to install them.

Thanks,
Adrian

Thanks for the reply.

1. Will these fit all Sparco seats? (Are they universal?)
2. How much?
3. As far as the brackets, do you know where to get those?

Thanks,
Adrian

I used Taitec rails to mount Sparco Roadster searts in my S2000 when I was using it for HPDEs. It's an excellent setup, and if Armando has them, that's one less shipping hassle with possible delays due to availability. The Taitec rails come with all the hardware that you will need to mount the seats in the car as long as they are compatible with side-mounts.

Be careful with your choice of seats as many are not narrow enough to fit. As narrow as they are, I had to do some very minor trimming to the wings of the Roadster seat to allow them to slide all the way back and permit easy operation of the center storage bin.

I liked the Roadster seat because the side bolsters weren't too high, stock seat belts could be used and they lowered my seating position in the car. Send me a PM if you want all the details about my setupand installation experiences.

Here's a photo of my setup:

Armando, I am very interested in your Taitec setup. PM me how much you are looking to sell them for.

Thanks,

Sure anytime....It should be about ready in a couple of months. Getting the seats, steering wheel and dash installed this week, then its off to weld in the rollcage so it should be a little while. I'll bring it out to BB once I get the cage in someitme.
