Mounting Race Seats
#26
No but it was pretty straightforward. I cut the mounts shorter and welded them in to make the mount sit lower. It requires some creativity with the driver's side mount, the rear inside mounting bolt in particular, because it's directly below where the seat rail attached.

i've seen serious folks just go ahead and cut out the OEM seat mounting structures, both front and rear, entirely. Either cut the spot welds if you're patient or break out an angle grinder and cut away. This let's you get stupid mounts of head room (seen 6'5" guys that you can barely see their heads through the side window). Search "ARCA time attack build", he's got some good pictures. You'll need to run back-up plates under the floor at minimum; the better way is to weld in some new low profile reinforcement plates.
