sparco low rider bracket/cobra daytona meeting...

[justinhustle]

is not going according to plan :(

brackets match up with stock mounting holes (floor ones) perfect.

they however do not match up with the seat at all

next, there is no instructions in the damn box nor any screws to join seat to bracket...which leads me to believe it is an imcomplete set

so now im going to have fun trying to track shit down...

most likely ill have a gently used set of cobra daytonas for sale =/

Hey, help me out with something...

Measure the bolt pattern on the cobra seats. I have a theory. :)

It should be something like 13" front to back, 11-3/8" side to side.

I'm also guessing the bolt pattern on the Sparco rail is about 10-5/8" front to back, and 13-9/16" side to side.

According to the specs on the chargespeed site you might try bride reclinable brackets since the dimensions are both 330 x 290 mm.

I saw a different spec for Cobra seats on some british site, though.

That's why I asked him to measure. The english measurements I listed are the measurements of the Bride bolt pattern.

Just for clarification, but that's the old bride bolt dimensions. 2 interesting things:

1. When I e-mailed a store about the rails for the brix2 I was told I needed the adaptor plate in addition to the rails. The new version 2 seats are a bolt on to the RO type seat rails (which aren't available for the 240), which has a bolt dimension of 260x405mm, which just happens to be the bolt dimensions of the recaro speed.

2. According to the Tee's website you can see the MO rail (the one's used in the 240) has bolt dimensions of 330x290mm (old brix dimension) AND 271x345mm (sparco bolt dimension).

So assuming all the info on the websites is correct if you have the Bride MO rail and the adaptor plate, you can fit the old bride, new bride, sparco, and recaro seats on them (cobra seats too if the dimensions on the chargespeed site end up being correct).

Kinda off topic for the thread, but someone might fiind the info useful....

All that info on bolt patterns wasn't on Tees' site only a few days ago! That's GREAT!!

The S13/14/15 MO rail doesn't have the Sparco holes, by the way... just the old Bride holes. But the adapter pieces required for the new Brides should have them.
