Hi. I was inspired somehow to get some cheap racing seats and convert them into a computer chair. Does anyone know of a place where I could possibly find plans to do so or even buy a cheap one for myself? Thanks.

Kragen auto parts, Ikea, and Home Depot.

Cheap "racing seat", cheap office chair, and a drill.

Ta-da!

Hm. Well, cheap bucket seats on ebay are roughly up to $100. I wonder how difficult it would be to mount them...I'm not too handy if you know what i mean.

What Huck said, plus have an angle grinder ready.

First figure out what seat you want, then make a template of it's bottom mounting points, take the template and compare it to the bases of some office chairs, and pick a chair which you like the base of, and which makes the most sense as far as adapting it to the racing seat.

Make a mount out of square steel tubing stock, or something similar, and make it bolt to the seat and the chair base, and you're done.

Good luck with it!

why dont u just use the seat brackets that are ment to mount in the car? im sure theres a way to drill a hole in one so u can bolt it to a office chair.
