Fitting buckets, side mounts...

[Barron]

Hi,
can i just cut out the horizontal cross braces where the standard seat runner sits or are these structural?

what i wanna do is just bolt the side mounts directly to the floor of the car, without sitting on the metal horizontal cross braces. Possible?

Eeek that'll be mega low.

I just fit Pole Positions in mine yesterday but used the reno runners and some recaro mounts which weigh a ton. Trying to think of another way round it

Ive just bolted my new sidemounted seat to those cross braces and it sits a tad too far forward and yes its quite low but works ok. Ive now bolted in two lengths of steel across them now and bolted the seat to that so i can sit and inch further back. Works perfectly now
