Hey there.

After advice on what seat mounts to get for my sparco sprint 5 seat. Not sure whether to get bottom or side mounts, and wondered if anyone could shed some light on which ones are easiest to fit, as from some past posts I remember it being said that they can be a nightmare to fit.

My idea was to leave the standard seat mounts in too, so I can swap seats over come Mot time. I'm not sure if that's actually an option but would be nice.

Car is a P2 six.

Cheers,

Pebbles

Cheers bud,

I found some sparco side mounts on tweeks for 50 quid, not sure if they are weld or bolt in. Are you able to make up seat mounts? Is pay more for something better.

On the height, I'm 5'8" and slim, so not big. 6 point OMP bolt in is the cage I have.

I never intended to go back to a normal seat, just wanted the ability to swap the seat for mot, then swap straight back. Unless I can get some slide mounts for the sparco. But id rather not break the already broken bank anymore.

Ta for the reply

I don't think you need to swap back for MOT. There's some MOT criteria that can be disregarded if the car is modified for competition, and I think the "adjustable to 3 positions", or whatever it is, is one of them.

Worth a check with your local MOT place, just to see that they are aware and can maybe clarify they'll be happy with what you're planning.

you need to check your seats, they will be bottom OR side mount, not both usually.

Don't do it exactly like this though, the tube ends that meet the tunnel need to be welded to some 3mm plate not straight to the tin.
NOTE: this is my car but not my work, all of the welds for the seating, seat belt mounts and much of the cage needed re-welding, due I suspect to a faulty machine or more likely a very poor earth connection combined with a little inexperience (If you look at the earth clamp shown in the first image you can see the brass/copper contact plates are missing and it's just making a connection through the thin metal of the clamp itself, which is a very bad connection)
