Seat Installation Help


#1

I’m getting ready to order and install a bolt-in VSR Roll bar in my 1989 325i for HPDE use. I also plan on installing Sparco Rev (drivers) and Sparco Pro 2000 (passenger) seats, Sparco sliders, and 6 point harnesses.

I’ve tried searching this and other forums for a comprehensive guide and tips to installing the seats and harnesses. I already have the Sparco sliders and Sparco bottom mounts, which came with the seats, but am willing to buy different mounting hardware if necessary. Does anyone know of a good guide, preferably with pictures, on installing seats and harneses in E30’s. I keep reading about how it can be a pain to get the seats centered and fitted correctly in these cars, so I would like to avoid a lot of trial and error… Also, is there anyone in Northern Virginia that would be willing to let me look at their setup? Thanks.

We have VAC motorsports mounts (http://store.nexternal.com/shared/StoreFront/default.asp?CS=vacmotors&StoreType=BtoC&Count1=602245509&Count2=519385933&CategoryID=180&Target=products.asp) and sparco sliders in both of our cars. We had momo seats but now have Sparco pro adv. They both fit fine.

Great. Glad to hear. Just tried the link and it takes me to the main page for VAC. Do you have both the floor mount adapters and the superior side mount brackets?

We are using Momo seat mount brackets we bought with the Momo seats. They work fine with the Sparco seats as well.

I bought a seat mount used. I then copied it to make one for the other seat. What a PITA. Now I know why they charge so much for them. Worth every penny to buy vs make.
