[Sharpy200]

Hi All,

Has anyone fitted OMP side mount bucket seats with sliding rails to their S550? If so what rails and hardware did you use?

Hi Dave,

If youre looking for fitment details, search the GT4 cars and perhaps take a trip to a British GT meet and take a look at the Academy Motorsport cars?

Also check out "Race seat mount mustang" on google. There are lots of frames available, but easy to make yourself.

Cheers dude

I want to mount the drivers side on sliders too. Not fussed about the passenger side that can be fixed position.

The GT4 seats are on sliders. You can get aftermarket sliders or maybe use Land Rover defender sliders from a post 2000 defender.

Basically, you need a flat bracket to bolt to the car and then you bolt your sliders to that and your side mounts to the sliders. Check the sliders are stiff or your seat will flip around like a floppy thing.

I found some actual seat brackets that are for the mustang a company called planted. They are for LHD but should still work. I take the sliders like the ones above will pretty much fit any bucket seat with the correct side mounts as well?

They also do side mounts with slotted lower holes. The slider fit will all depend on the spacing of the holes in the side mounts once they are bolted to the seat.

I could always drill to match and strengthen. Do you know if there is a plug in solution to keep the air bag light off? Trick the car to thinking they are are all still attached?
