I made some racing seat brackets. (pics)

I used 1 1/2" angle iron that was 1/8" thick. It was actually very simple. Cost me $13.00 in metal and the yard cut it to my spcified lengths. I borrowed a welder from my neighbor and drilled the holes. I put a slight angle on the front one. Over all pretty easy and cheap!
I'm still going to fit an electric set up from a 2000 Gt for the driver side but they are in for now. They are the Hunsaker Synkros.

How are the 2 bracket pc's held together?

They are welded on both sides....super strong.

Where did you get those seats?

Are they comfy?

 

[rbrown-90]

They are from a company called Hunsaker.
http://www.hunsakersports.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=228
they were $380.00 for both and that included shipping! Normally $799.00.
They have the tilt forward function and provisions for a 5 point harness. They are vinyl. So far I am very happy. They are very comfy. I did some research and I got these for comfort and style more than performance as I do not road race. I have a 38" waist and they fir well. I would say anyone larger may be uncomfortable.
Hunsaker went above & beyond by adding an all new performance features.

ya know, you just shed a whole new light on the intended use of those bracket's. i bought a pair from summit made of aluminum and was installing them on the side's (front to back) and couldn't figure out why the seat sat so high. now i know!!! thanx

Thanks, I will drill some holes to lighten the bracket ups a but without affecting the structural integrity.

Those seats look alot like the summit seats.

The do look like the Summit seats. I'm sure a lot of racing seats come from the same place.:shrug:
