Race seat mounts

What is the preferred race seat mount for the e82. I have used Planted mounts in the past and liked it.


Thanks

These could all be a single thread.

Bret Kraus is excellent option, there direct to floor mounts can be a complete option for the lap and sub harness connection.

Seats are impossible to recommend as ideally it’s body specific. I’m a fan of Sparco QRT for dual duty, and Racetech 4119 for purpose built.

I'll take a look at the BK, thanks for that fyi.. I have used , just trying to figure out what most are using for seat mounts. I don't want adjustable sliders, are the BK adjustable?

As far as seats I have been very happy with Cobra. Thanks for the response. Seems there is not too many people tracking these cars. At least by the lack of responses on this forum.

I'm using Brey Krause seat mounts and Racetech seats.

Brey Krause has a fixed mount option, that's what DRLane mentioned, the direct to floor is not a slider.

There's a E82 Track facebook group and that's where most of the track people have migrated to, lots of activity and discussion on the group. It's unfortunate because the forums are way better at archived posts and finding discussions through search.
