    Even though the stuff arrived promptly from DW, I was out of the country and I've only just got around to installing last night. I'm really impressed with the quality of the rails - I reckon thy're better made the stock seat ones with their nasty welding.

    The fit is really close to the handbrake and if I move the seat over I struggle closing the door. I don't know how this will fit with the crossbars of a rollcage - I think it will be close but OK. There's a good bit of adjustment available so I'm not worried.

    I'm 6 ft, so having the front seat hole on the top slot and the back hole on the 2nd from the bottom seemd to give me the right tilt. I need to bring the seat more forward on the rails, as I seem to have it quite far forward. Its also lower than the stock seat, which puts the wheel a bit higher up which suits me - my 200 no longer feels like a go-kart!

    I'm really happy with the setup and I think I'm going to order a left one as well when I get paid.

    Heres some pics:

    Urgent!

    Do you still have these in stock? My guess is not :(
    I'm just sorting seats for my R32, do i NEED the adjustable mounts or can I just buy the £35 seat mounts and bolt to the floor?? Not sure what to do otherwise. Was waiting for a load of funds to clear and now that I have the money, you are sold out of seat frames from what i hear :(
    Cheers guys

    OK, done. :) I've put an order through.:thumbs:

    P.S. Any idea how long these 'special orders' take? Thanks (what i'm really asking is, could it be brought to donny and I'll fit the seat in the pits? ;) )

    No worries, I'll have to hope Glen doesn't mind overlooking the passenger seat ;) Or maybe I can bodge my bride mount on temporarily :) No worries either way :thumbs:

    Hi guys just pick up on this, I have a Sparco seat with the Sparco rails for it, would I get away with the £35 side mounts or do I need the low side mount seat subframe for my R32?

    Cheers

    basically you can get away with mounting it in one position if you're happy to do a bit of cutting, bodging and welding. If you want a way of simply bolting in a subframe that will let you adjust the seat and doesn't involve a load of messing about, one of these rails is the way forward :nod:
