    The seats are nice...REALLY nice. i got the all red ones. problem is though, i have no clue how to mount them. they have sliding rails on the bottom with a bolt sticking out on each end (4 total)..i'm guessing these would mount through the mounting brackets...but it didn't come with any mounting brackets, and there is no way to mount them to my stock brackets...no way. i called the place that i bought the seats from and they don't sell the brackets (i was under the impression they came with the seats)....and i don't even know anybody else that sells the Arospeed seats. so i was wondering if i could use like some sparco, or recaro, or OBX brackets? it should essentially be the same right since most of them are adjustable? Anybody got any advice?

    The recaro or momo should work.

    Yeah, that's what i was thinking. I have a few more places to check with for brackets..but if worse comes to worst, I'll look into that. Problem is though i don't know where any metal fab shops would be frown

    You should be able to fab some up custom like. I have worked in a few mettle fab shops so I would just take the car and the seat to a welding fabrication shop and thay could probibly do it farly cheap if you cant find any bracets. If I am seeing it in my mind corectly it should only take about 10-20 dollers in materal and about 5-15 minits for each bracekt so at 30-60 dollers an hour shop rate that should be like 40-80 bucks.

    Let your fingers do the walking, yellow pages my man look under pipe fiting, or mettle work or fabrication, something elce you could do is go to a local tool rental place, rent a wire feed welder, mask, gloves, and ask them where you can get some mettle from, buy a little extra and pracice on that. a regular house hold drill and 4 drill bits should easyly perce a peace of mild steal. squert some rust inhibiting paint (I live in south east alaska so any exposed mettle gets covered or turns redish brown).
