Seat Rails

Postby james » Sun, 27 May 2012 11:14 +0000

I went to see a 5 yesterday and it was clean - i want it but there is not enough headroom and legroom (6"4) my head is pushing through the fabric

anyway my question is can i get an aftermarket seat rail that will allow me to fit in a compition bucket seato be exact the one in the picture below

i have this seat in my civic on diy rails and i get around 2 inches extra headroom

the sparco sprints should fit the standard rails with minor mods i have 2 in my car and had no problem
fitting them and give nice bit more space but a small bit awkward for getting into :?

bolting them to the rails is easy i would if i could but i am 6ft 4 so too high
i will need to bolt it to the floor and bolt a mk1 reciever to the trans tunnle
