Sparco Seat Mounting- Recommended Dealers?

Hey, Ive never put in a Sparco Seat in my car so i have some questions...

im looking at a side mount only Corsa online, can i (have you) fab up my own mounts? i know three bolts are straight to the floor and the 4th is at an angle a bit.

if not, then i need to by side plates that connect to the sliders...i see many different prices from different stores, id rather buy from a real shop so i know im getting the right thing.

Any shop reccomendations (prefer south bay) but any in the bay area?

Cool thanks a lot

Calculated Risk in Sacramento can fab up some mounts for you. They did it for me for my RaceTech Seats. You will also needs the sparco side mounts though, Calculated Risk will create the floor mounts.

Shameless Plug: If you need one set of side mounts I have an unopened package sitting in my room. I will sell it for $60.

PM me if you want any more info.

I GOT MY SPARCO CORSA! its only 17 lbs (Sparco claims 22 lbs)
im sitting in it right now, about to play GT4 with my GT4 wheel!

Questions:

If i ever did a track day or even autoX...will they fail me for having a home-made seat base? it will be thick steel and i have a good welder.

and since my seat was born June of 2000...that just means track cars cant use it (the 2 year rule?) but im not worried about selling it, it was only $310

thanks

for autox, you should be okay if the rails are sturdy, and your seat doesn't move around. I have seen some ghetto seat rails and no one says anything.

i made the base and it fits nicely. im gonna paint it pink, but then it will attract even more attention
