Hi Guys,


I did search first and couldnt find it. Either I'm crap at searching or its not there to be found.

Anyways, I recently bought one racing seat, and I wanted to put it in to my accent hatchback, how ever it didnt fit. After I took out the original chair, and rigged the seatframe up, I noticed that the racing seat wasnt as witdh as the orignal seat, and the original seatbrackets wouldnt fit on the chair anyways because they had other things like adjusting your chair and stuff, so I threw it all away (coz I didnt take it apart probbly enough to be reused).

Then I got universal racing brackets, wich are supposed to fit... wich offcourse didnt.
So now, is there any shop that sells brackets for the accent that do fit... (i dont wanna pay more then 40 dollar tho) or is there anyone who has customized brackets befor and can tell/show me how its down...

Dear Sh4d0wz,

Let's clarify....you got rid of your original seat before you confirmed that the new racing seat would fit. Now, you have no seat in your car and can't drive it without a driver's seat.

Better stay out of the coffee bars in Amsterdam.

hahaha, its just a matter of time befor I fix it.
When I fix my car today, I probbly take it apart tommorow again :P

But... I found the solution, this guy used the original frame, it seems like he saw it off and then welded 4 spaces for the screw to mount the chair on.

So i'll just use this idea, modify it a bit, coz this guy took all the space for his rear passangers to put their feets :P
