new batch of E30 bucket seat mounts

Post Wed Jun 11, 2008 11:29 am

I am going to order a new batch of bucket seat mounts ASAP.
A few people have contacted me and are already on the reserved list.
Bevore I stick a posting in the for sale section I wanted to have a quick check to see if there's anybody else in need of some mounts to fix the order quantity.

Please drop me a mail (PM sometimes unreliable for me)

do you mind posting dimensions for the seat mountings. Wondering if these will fit my OMP.

I need to do this before the MOT retest next week. Or I could temporarily move the passenger seat over to the driver's side.

The smallest seat WIDTH is 400mm. Anything smaller than this will require spacers (not supplied)
Depending on position in the car and/or roll cage tubes in the way the WIDEST seat dim will be 435mm (but has also been fitted to a 440mm seat)

Fit's fine with SPARCO Pro2000 and EVO

Do you want to fit them with carpet or without? WIDEST Seat width will be reduced if carpet is fitted (no space around trans tunnel)

No carpet. Have you got dimensions for the seat mount holes too?

can you explain please? Do you mean the side mounting holes? As far as I have found out they are more or less the same.

I will only place an order if the can supply before the 26th June. Otherwise I will miss the opportunity to take some with me to the Ring end of June to save the shipping cost to Germany. (if they still want them over there)

Yes, the holes for bolting the seat to the mounts.

Still £48 per seat I am afraid. I am going to use parcelforce48 for shipment (2 seats) and Royal mail stand for 1 seat.

Parcelforce 48 = £18 (doesn't matter if 1 set/seat or 2)
Royal mail = £12 for ONE set (will have to confirm this)

parts have already been cut and awaiting powder coating. Delivery expected mid-end next week

Uwe for refference, they also work perfectly with my Cobra Suzuka seat aswell,

Can I just ask the obvious: don't any of the big names make subframes?
Do the custom mounts save height compared to subframes?

the custom ones are made to fit the e30 standard bolt holes on the floor. unlike normal mounts that dont. i missed out on the last lot so i had some mounts welded in 2 weeks ago. then Uwe posted this up

comes to mind. would of saved me a hole load of hassle.

I have mailed everybody on the reserved list but not all responded. If there's no answer in a reasonable time your're on the list. They may be a set left already because one person hasn't made it clear if he wants 2 or 1 seat, so I have allocated 2. If one, the other one is yours.
