Default Mount Sparco evo w/sliders?

Anyone know if the Sparco sliders & universal mount will work with a C5? I have a much-taller friend that is also driving my car at my next event, and I'm getting ready to install an Evo.

Hardbar's is fixed.
DRM's is fixed.
Mallett's is fixed.

Hope someone else can give you better news :(

Thanks.

Worst case, he has to scrunch his knees or get his own car.

Really? I thought the Evo was side-mount only. And, since my stock seat is a power seat (aren't they all), what good would this do me? Clarification is greatly appreciated! =) =) =)

Update: Okay, I found a combination that should work.

Seat + Sparco sidemount brackets + sparco sliders + custom adapter to fit the sliders to the floor. My too-tall friend is going to weld up the adapter for me next week.

Will do. If everything works out, I'll post specs for the bracket. Should just be a couple of sections of square tubing welded into a rectangle, with a few holes drilled.
