All you needed to do...provided you had Sparco base/bracket was to unbolt seat belt and mount it to the sparco base.
When you order "sparco base" it's actually Wedge engineering who makes them. Well that's what I received anyway....they fit great.

Your gonna need to order: 2 x Sparco sliders
2 x Sparco base by(Wedge engineering)1xdriver& 1xpassenger side
2 x Sparco hardware kit (get the good stuff)
** (Optional) but I recommend if your shorter then 6' tall
2 x adapter kits (if you want to adjust height)
You can quickly look for part # on Cardomain web site....goodluck!

I have some nice seats sitting in my basement and I was wondering if anyone has used the stock seat brackets sliders and all? I took my seat out and they almost match the holes on my new seats. I think I would have to drill a new hole a little wider on the back and weld in a small flat flang for the front and drill a hole in it to mount them in. Anyone done this before i mess up my stock seats?
At the NOPI event here in Texas a couple of weeks back, I had the chance to sit in some BRIDE seats. Not as impressive as they look. The material was likened to the cloth off of old seats. It had great lateral support though! I wear size 38-40 pants, and these seats were too small for me to be comfortable. Sparco Torino 2's it is!

size 38-40 pants eh....well I wear 34-36 and I found the Torino's to be abit tight for the first 2 weeks but now they've molded to my ass and thighs. You might hate them for the first few weeks but give them a chance. And it's abit of a process to get into them to....you can't just throw yourself in..lol.you'll see. And with your waist, you can forget about keeping your cell phone clipped to the side of your belt....if that's where you keep it.
Oh, I've sat in Torinos before in Pirana's car. As a matter of fact, I sat in them for about 3 hours on the way back from Austin last year. I was even able to sleep in it. I also sat in his seats again recently to solidify my choice. He's about the same waist size as me, so I should be fine.Jaysanooch said:

Ah ok so you have an idea then, good but if your getting them brand new they won't be as comfortable at first..you'll need to break them in, that's what I was getting at. Pirana's seats obviously have a few miles on them so just letting you know.
