Seat Mounting Points - Compatibility
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I'd like to do some track days in the XJR. One little problem......at 6'4, I don't have room for me + helmet.
So, I'd like to get a VERY budget basic racing seat to bolt in on track days. That should put me at quite a bit lower inside the cockpit. I don't want to be switching out seats from the rails and stuff like that. I want something where I can just unbolt the whole seat assembly, unhook the wires, and bolt in a racing seat, then bolt in my regular seat after the track session.
Does anyone know if our bolt points are pretty standard? Are there any racing seats that might be a direct drop in? I'm looking to spend a very minimal amount of money.
Please let me know if you've got any info or pointers that I can try.

Brutal is right, it should be plenty easy to replicate the seat pattern with some flat steel and angle steel, if you have a mig welder and some basic fab skills.
Or if you want it easy, I have the old seats and tracksfrom my XJR taht I'd be happy to donate if you are anywhere close to Austin, Texas.
