Gonna have to order these for my corbeua seats and a harness bar

 

I fall in the last portion of that post. Please substitute very with extremely.

 

email me john@powellraceshop.com on Monday with your needs/wants and I will see what can be done

 

I don't know if anyone is still watching this thread. But can I use any sparco seat I want? Are these brackets avalible?

 

^^^ email and pictures sent

 

I still need something done too, John, I'm just waiting for the funds to get it done.

 

Pinky it all takes time and lotsa dough! Gloria regularly throws things at me when I suggest another mod to the Redline lol.

 

Just want to let everyone know, i just ordered a set of brackets from john. Cant wait to get them i have some sparco r100's ready to install.

John stayed up til the crack of dawn to put together a how-to, i appreciate that to the fullest.

Thanks to john and gloria for all of their great customer service.

Powell FTW!!!

 

shipped yesterday; 15 mb how to, lots of pictures. You can tell me if its clear enough....there is a member installed them a few months ago not sure if he posted on up...

 

Hey john, the only typo i found in the how - to is this:

On Page 12 :
"The exception is the single bar that has a 90 degree end on it to mount the inside seat belt latch mechanism. It is sandwiched between the Sparco slider and the Powell main bracket, with the 90 degree bed facing upwards. "

On Page 14:
"In this picture above, the seat belt plate is mounted, sandwiched between the Sparco slider and the seat, and the seat belt latch installed"

The correct order is on Page 14 correct ?


- My Screw holes on my Seats accepted the M8x1.25 Screws without a problem (no tap needed) guess i got a good batch.


- Torque Specs for Install:
All (8) 8M x 1.25 Screws 15 ft. lbs
(2) Bolts - Seat Bracket to Floor ???
(1) Seat Belt - Buckle Bolt (re-use stock bolt) 33 ft. lbs

 

YES page 14 is correct. torque value is 37 ft lbs (50 n/mm ) for the OEM seat bolt hardware to the floor. I made the corrections thanks

 

Thanks for clearing that up for me john, do those other torque specs look good ?

 

yup all good cheers

 

got my Powell xd brackets .... and installed my R100

installed this bad boy, other one is on back order.


(look closely, and you will see the Powell Harness Bar )





1 down, 1 to go


The only issues i ran into were:

- The one bolt hole in the bracket did not line up with the hole in the floor board, I had to file the hole so it was oblong, fits like a glove now.

- I thought that the seat would be lower than the stock one (im 6' 4) but it seems to be the same height, so ill have to cram the helmet in here.


but all in all, seat is amazing & a HUGE thanks to Powell for all of the help/support and another fantastic product

 

i was looking to get the r100 also how is the seat height? i am much shorter only 5'7''

 

seems to be same as stock aka my head is in the roof ..... my helmet hits the roof hardcore

 

okay sounds good, looking to get these by spring! already have the harness bar just need to order the seats and brackets ! how much did you pay for the seats and where did you get them from?

 

PM THMotorsports, they hooked me up.

Make sure you ask them for the Sparco Sliders as well.

Seats - $310 Shipped /each

Sliders - $75 shipped/each

XD Brackets - $380 shipped/pair

Total : $1,150

 

thanks for the info did not realize that you need slider also on top of the bracket!

 

yea the cost builds quickly lol

if you dont use a slider the seat is dumb far forward lol

 

sounds good thanks for the help! my main concern was the height of the seat since they do not adjust up and down.

 

yea i had my ss/sc seats at the lowest possible point, and these sit in that same spot so it is as low as it will go, just not any lower lol

 

yeah i usually keep mine jacked up about 1/2 the way

 

the powellseat brackets with a sparco seat are lower than stock will go. the considerable framework and stuff of the stock seat is eliminated.

 

its not same as stock but if you want to go lower you will have to cut the cross member out of the car or eliminate the sliders.
