The Torino II's mount from the bottom - your typical reclining "racing seats". As far as I know the only over-the-counter brackets available come from Wedge Engineering and are $79/ea. I used some of their brackets when I had these seats in my old Protege5 and they took a lot of work to get in and straight (had to drill out a lot of holes). I got the extra stock sliders for cheap and was hoping to make something work. I have a couple ideas but I was curious what other people had done.
My current ideas are:
1. Use stock sliders with adapter plates. I'll have to use some spacers so the plates will clear the slider moving parts (1/4" or so)
2. Grind off stock sliders and just use brackets, then use adapter plates to adapt Sparco sliders (I have two of those as well) to stock brackets
My big concern is over all seat height. I'm not overly tall at 5'-10" but I feel if I increase the seat height at all my head is going to touch the roof. Option 1 has the potential for being taller than stock, but involves much less cutting/grinding. Option 2 will take a lot longer but in the end will be shorter because the Sparco sliders are thinner and I won't have to use spacers.
