73724, ATTN: People with R1 Racing Seats (BRACKET PROBLEMS) Posted by xEclipsE RaceRx, Jun-15-04 01:32 PM I just got two of those seats above. They have the sliders that came with them that match up perfect to the seat, but now I need to mount the seat w/ sliders to brackets in the car. I have spent a total of 10 hrs trying to fab a bracket for the passenger side only, and no luck Im no Jesse James. So I was just wondering what you folkS have done to get your seats to fit? 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS 10th Anniversary OZ Edition Check Out My Site For Pix http://home.comcast.net/~eclipseracer/Page/Home.htm

73784, RE: ATTN: People with R1 Racing Seats (BRACKET PROBLEMS) Posted by djtrickee, Jun-16-04 01:41 PM Wow sorry. You got the big red shaft on that deal. I ordered my seat brackets for 30 a piece plus shipping. came to about 80 total. all the vendors i contacted on ebay said they had an expected delay of about 2-6 weeks due to them being on backorder from weaponR. www.trixracing.com i hope those work for you. EDIT: Heres the link for the ones i got. http://www.trixracing.com/productdetails.aspx?ProductID=499 -chris b.
73785, RE: ATTN: People with R1 Racing Seats (BRACKET PROBLEMS) Posted by Dirty, Jun-16-04 02:03 PM I used tenzo-r brackets. I had to weld 2 pieces of steel across the bracket to bolt up the slider. Their good seats for the money and look great, but my wife likes the leathers better so now mine are for sale. I'll see if I can get you a pic.

73930, RE: ATTN: People with R1 Racing Seats (BRACKET PROBLEMS) Posted by Dirty, Jun-19-04 02:28 PM Dude, like I said, if you want to put the seats in, get the tenzo-R brackets. All you have to do then is take it to a muffler shop and have them weld 1 or 2 pieces of metal on it for ya.
