Seats are usually sold individually.

you can buy in pairs x 2 on price. Seat brackets to fit a Cobalt? I got them, use the Sparco sliders. Good luck, the R100 is a very nice performance seat btw.

Powell seats look great! I'm thinking about doing the swap to the sparco down the road! Will the seat tracks you have fit the Sedan too?

yes all delta products Ion/Cobalt coupe or sedan have the same seat mounting. Harness bar is for coupes only, however.

sorry for any delay; I got the brackets ready before I went to CED but then for four days I was out of touch, and Gloria was off at NASCAR race being an official. So our company of two was AWOL. sorry we will get caught up by tomorrow cheers.

shipped. make sure your seats came with the sparco slider kit 50001 it has the slider and comes with hardware, together with my brackets and hardware you should be set. I will send you the how to directly Thanks for choosing genuine Powell hardcore raceparts.

ps depending on your car and its configuration, you will need to lay in the brackets and check the alignment to the rear bolt holes, the cars do vary. Also you will transfer the inner seat belt latch with bolt directly to our part. also you will need to transfer the passenger side seat sensors and connectors otherwise the seat belt light will stay on

Havnt received my sparco seats yet. So I don't know what they come with. So, I will need to buy 2 seats sliders and hardware kit 50001? What does that mean check alignment for bolts? Is there a chance of them not aligning?

there is a possibility that the hole in the bracket would have to be opened up slighlty with a dremel or something like that but you wont know until you lay it out on your car.
yes your sparco seats should come with sliders. thats the part number of the kit I have in my records from the R 100 purchases.

nothing but the seat belt buckle for the inside will transfer to the Sparco. The stock seat slider is a night mare...heavy and makes for a very high position. Sparco drops a lot and gives you more helmet room

sparco R100 shown here; the slider bolts to the seat. The seat captive nuts may need the threads cleaned. If the supplied hardware from Sparco does not thread in by hand, please clean the thread with a tap.

The seats come with black plastic recliner lever covers: check that they are not missing or broken when you receive your seats.

OUr seat brackets enable the Sparco shoulder belt ports to line up with the Powell harness bar, should that be installed.

This detail shows the seat belt inner buckle assembly mounted to the anchor which comes with our seat brackets.

Once installed to the slider, the hardware is tightened up. Snug all the bolts first; the OP has a choice of hardware nuts to use as I shipped extra.

The slider may be difficult to mount, we supply the largest possible allen capscrews so that they are strong, but they may be troublesome to fit in the slider trough, to do this, the existing Sparco slider holes may need to be enlarged slightly.

The Powell brackets are powdercoated. The seat slider will need to be moved to facilitate installation, and it is important to be careful to keep the slider sides equal; the sparco slider lever bar will pop out easily.

More detailed instructions will be sent to the OP who has a different style Sparco seat. All Sparco seats use the same slider, according to Sparco.

they are a tig welded one piece chrome alloy bracket with a bolt on cross anchor for the seat belt anchor, which is itself a bolt on piece on to a riveted OEM structure. You use the OEM inner belt with its integral locating nut, and the OEM bolt. Asemble to the anchor bracket which is itself bolted across the one piece bracket, which is itself bolted to the Sparco seat .

It is made this way so the seat belt inner buckle assembly travels with the seat, as it is adjusted on the slider, just like the OEM seat functions.

Hey no problems. Fits very well. You guys have already saved me time and money. And now I don't have to leave my car at the shop which I refuse to do. Just can't wait for seats. Having a hard time finding R505 in stock. Here's some pics for now.

excellent!! You will notice the tension in the bracket as you secure it, thats to make sure it doesnt move around in spirited race cornering, and/or rattle like the stock seat brackets. Happy it all fits, now for seats and the anchor bracket. cheers

Does it recline? Looks awesome and more comfortable looking than the R100, with segmented padding. excellent. Looks like a tight fit and broader in the shoulder area than the R100
