![]() I also intend on running a roll bar, so clearance behind the seat is important to me. But, I've found this easily remedied by adjusting the back of the seat to compensate. These seats give me plenty of clearance in that area.Īs some have mentioned the B pillar does eventually become an issue if you intend on sliding the seats at their max travel. My old seats were WAAAY too wide, and would squish on the door panel. I'm pleased with the fitment of these seats. If you haven't housed your six pack by now, it's now time to sit back and enjoy the spoils of your hard work. Once the holes are drilled, it is now time to bolt the seats in. Now is the time to slot the holes as well, to fine tune the adjustment. Mine looks pretty haggard, due to a previous eBay seat install, but mark your holes, and drill them out (I was able to use 2x of the stock holes, and drilled two of my own) Once both rails are securely mounted to the seats, it's time to fit the seats to the car.Ī small dab of never seize on each of the OEM mounting studs will provide easy reference for where to drill once you get it placed where you want it. Now repeat the process for the other side. Tightened the rear bolt first then the front. I found that I had to start with the rear bolt, as when I tried to start the front bolt first, I was not able to access the rear hole (due to the 1" limitation in slider range) (roughly 1 inch each direction, but that is negligible, at least in my opinion.)īolt that puppy in place. This is important so you don't get severely limited travel due to the slider hitting the bolt head.Īlso, you will lose SOME travel in the slider mounting them this way. NOTE: You will want to offset the hole slightly, to match the offset of the original mounting point, as shown below. Once again, I'm pointing at the area to drill out. ![]() Once that bolt was mock tight, I marked and drilled out the new hole to mount the front of the slider. Note: You could also shim the slider off the seat using washers, but I didn't want to lose ANY headroom. Next, I used the stock carriage bolt hole at the rear of the slider as my first mounting point. Once that is tapped down slightly, the OEM rail will now seat fully against the mounting points. ![]() The spring mechanism will make contact with this metal rail/support, if you do not. In order to mount the slider with the handle, I lightly (heh) tapped the following rail with a hammer, so it can be fully seated. A good smack with a hammer will pop them right out. (you'll thank me for this)įirst I removed the stock carriage bolts that mounted the sliders to the Datsun seats. 8x 8mm x 1.25 bolts (roughly 3/4" in length) 240z (or your particular car's) OEM seat sliders This is what I did to make the Sparco R100 seats fit the 240z chassis. #240z bashbar install#Okay so I took today to do this install (this is the same post as my build thread) ![]()
