I just bought a Sparco seat, I have the sliders and everything else I need....except the base.

I see a lot of guys are fabricating their own seat bases, but I don't think I will have to time to get it done.

Sparco doesn't have a base available yet. I know Pfadt has one but it goes for $300.

Are there any alternatives out there or should I just call Pfadt and place the order?



PS I'm going to VIR for the first time, in 3 weeks. Sweet.

Thanks Matt....thats funny because I spoke to someone at OG and they told they couldn't find one that fit. Thanks for the heads up.

Are you using a slider with the base?

I use the Sparco base and slider. Just keep in mind tall riders beware. With the base, slider, and seat at it lowest setting, with a helmet I have very little clearance. BTW, the slider is not like that in a regular car, it is rock solid once set in place.

yes, i plan on using a slider. And I'm 6'0", so is it worth it to get the Pfadt seat base....that seems to sit a little lower.

I have a hardbar seat mount, not being used right now for my c5, but I think its the same for c5/c6, if you want to test fit your more then welcome to try.

Thanks for the offer, but I need to figure this out pretty quick so I'll do a little more digging. Thanks again for offering, much appreciated.

If you take the slider out of the equation you may fit, otherwise you will most likely not fit. I am about 5'10.5" and there is less than 1/2" clearence.

I do know from personal experience that the Hardbar rails sit lower than the Sparco, so based on your height, that may be the best route. I am not familar with PDfat

I have the Phadt unit with Sparco slider and all is well. I am 5' 11.5" and fit fine. I have Sparcos in my street car on factory rails and they are too high.

No problem, let me know if you change your mind

Thanks again.

PS. Gary at Hardbar was very helpful in explaining his set up to me on the phone today. Hope you are feeling better Gary!
