Afternoon all, quick question
Can anyone send me a link or point me in the right direction as to where i can get some seat frames for my mini, i dont want the standard ones as it is a track car and i need some proper fixed ones for safety, currently have ones that let you get in the back which obviously arent ideal. I have seen the ones on demon tweeks but would they fit with the crossmember,
Cheers

A bucket seat like the title says, it shouldnt really make a difference as the majority fit the same frames

what the stock car guys do is use a standard seat frame and modify it till the driver is happy with the position, then weld it to the floor and weld the runners so they dont move... works a treat

yes but they only mount down near where your hips would be in the seat, you ideally want to bolt through the bottom of the seat and at the top of the back rest
