Default Side mount seat rails?

Can anyone point me to a non-hardbar side mount seat rail for a C5?

Placed an order for the hardbar seat rails and a harness bar 2 months ago and it looks like they will be another month at the earliest. I have a few track events coming up very soon and cannot afford to wait any longer. Plus their non-existent customer service makes me wonder if I will ever get them.

Some other information to help in the selection process:
- Mounting Sparco Evo's up to it
- Would like points to attach 6-point harnesses
- Non-sliding
- Lots of adjustability in terms of distance from pedals and recline angle.

Any information that you guys can provide me with would be great! Thanks!!

Check with Phoenix Performance. I got a set from them last year and they worked real well.
