Kirky Seat Rail Option
Did a bit of searching and not finding much so figured I would ask question here. Sorry if its redundant..
I Picked up a set of Kirkey 17" seats and harnesses and had planned on going with the hardbar rails but seems as if the storm may slow production and they are currently out of stock. With a event approaching I was looking for what other options people have used. I Currently have a crossbar installed and want to add seats on fixed or slider rails then add the backbrace with the harnesses .... What other options are there that people have used?

The rails may not be available but check with Gary to see if the Stud Extenders are.

They rails are really nice and worth having but the extenders will actually allow you to use just about any other rail that is similar to Gary's rails as they raise the level of the stock stud to the point a rail can be fastened solidly to the stud.

Not that I would recommend it, but I mounted my Kirkey to a stock pass side non-power seat rail and ran it that way for 2 years. I used steel angle iron to bolt the seat to the rail. It was very sturdy and very heavy. The sliders remained functional.

Ok ... some good Ideas i use the crossbar with that thick down bar for support on each side. Worry about getting enough clearance for that... may have to have those bolt extenders...

Yeah I used the Crossbar too and had to knock out the OEM rear seat studs and use longer bolts to get everything attached.
