Fitting Bucket Seats
I found somewhere in the UK that sells the Buddy Club seats and I have a pair of them being delivered on Tuesday.
I have read a few threads that tell me I can use Sparco sliders, rails .... to fit these. I can get Sparco mountings in the UK quite easily but not sure exaxtly what I need to buy to fit the seats. My guess is that I need :
Seat Slide Adjuster:
Universal base mount subframe:
Side Mounting Frame:
Am I correct? Is there anything else that I will need?
TIA

sparco makes a base mount specific to S2000's, the part number is listed on a pdf on their site.
**** found it...
5002028F s2000 Left
5002029F s2000 Right
$85 each
****
science of speed sells the taitec rails that are what alot of people seem to recommend, as they allow most seats to be lowered almost to the floor.
I'm trying to decide between the sparco and taitec rails myself.

I have sent off an email to a couple of US distributors to ask if they can ship them to the UK.
The Taitec rails are also difficult to get hold of in the UK. I have been told that J's racing sell these re-badged but so far I cannot get a response from the UK J's distributor.

Additional Info.
Wedge only makes their rails for 13 1/2" base (bottom width) seats by Sparco and Momo. They are $90 each plus shipping. They will ship to U.K. but it's likely to be expensive if you're not willing to wait a few weeks for it to arrive.
Figure 11 lbs in a 2'X2'X3" box.

perhaps try www.ogracing.com they say they ship internationally and they can get the sparco stuff. Unless its a limitation from sparco itself, likely to do with TUV certification.
