Default passenger psarco seat mounting options?

picked up a sparco race seat for my passenger.

what are my mounting options? I want the easiest. I prefer a fixed mount if that is an option. Passenger does not need to slide fore or aft.


I do not want to use my existing factory seat or rails.

The best part of using the Hardbar seat rails (besides the quality) is it will anchor the lap and sub harness belts. The seat rails also will not increase the seat height like the slider rails do.

it is my understanding from talking to sparco that the sparco seat requires side mounts. These side mounts will not mount to the stock floor studs. At least that is what sparco says. They told me i would require additional mounting tracks.

what is everyone using to mount to the floor? I need pics and part numbers.

Here's a couple of pics of the Hardbar seat rails. They mount on the floor and provide excellent adjustment.

the pic of the yellow car...

it does not look like the floor mount uses the stock studs. using the stock floor studs would have shown a nut on the rail. this looks more like a hex or Torx (did I spell that right?).

The Hardbar seat rails come with stud extensions.
