So i finally got around to fitting my custom made rails.
After a lot of measuring and re-measuring and then the design work started to try to come up with the best solution to the problem.
I made a few prototypes to iron out any problems which had arisen. Trust me there were a few lol.
Basically i removed the Recaro side mounts and the mounts which fix onto the existing rails and replaced these with one bracket.
Here are a few pictures of the brackets before the seat was fitted.
I also tried to take a shot of the difference in height between the original recaro side mount brackets and the custom made brackets with the seat fitted.
This is what they look like with the seat fitted.
Passenger brackets also fitted.
They now sit a lot lower than the standard brackets, much more head room.
Overall this is one of the best modifications which i have done to the vee. The Pole Position seats really are fantastic but i have not got the best out of them until i lowered them.
Any of you who have the Pole Positions on standard brackets will know how high you sit on the standard brackets.
Using these custom made brackets i have lowered the seat around 4-5'' i could go another 1'' lower although i would have to adapt the handle which you slide the seats with.
Overall a great mod and would really recommend it. It was worth all the hard work and effort
I am now offering these as a Group Buy, the cost will be £100 plus £10 p+p so a total of £110. This will be for 2 pairs of side mounts which will be fabricated from 3mm mild steel material, primed in a matt black finish so you can paint in whatever colour you wish.
The only difference between these and the standard Recaro rails is that i use an M12 bolt for fixing the seat belt to the new frames. I will supply the M12 bolts for these.
I will run this group buy for a couple of weeks and then start to process any orders.
