Trying to solve fitting Sparco seats with a seat base. The manufacturer for Sparco seat mounts is Planted in Kirkland Washington. They’ve never had anyone request Jaguar seat bases but their policy is to make anything, as long as you bring them the car.

If anyone here is geographically close to their facility and would be working out an arrangement, I would
be immensely grateful.

Also, aren’t X152 seats physically compatible with the X150? Was going to post up the same question on that forum as well.

 

One of my sons lives in Bellevue Washington, but he's not very savvy as far as vehicles and such goes (mother raised him). Would that help at all?

 

Many thanks for that, but does he have an X150? That's the challenge as they won't allow templates, mock up, measurements, etc, they insist upon having the car in person.

 

I have a 2010 XKR and I'm in the area. How long would they need it?

 

He's test-driven two so far, but he can't seem to find a decent one for what he can afford. He's still looking though, and I thought he'd have one soon.
Looks like you already have some help anyway, so never mind.
If something falls through, hit me up later, kid may have one by then.

 

That would be fantastic! I will contact them Monday morning, but I reckon it wouldn't take long at all, they just need to take measurements of the seat bases. I'd be willing to compensate for your time/effort and I'm certain there would be other members interested as no manufacturer currently offers a race seat mount.

 

Sounds great, I'll PM you my contact info so we can get it all sorted out!

 

Massive thanks to DCdeuce, came though and had Planted Technology, OEM manufacturer of Sparco and other race seat fitting hardware, template and begin fabrication of custom application specific seat mounting bases.

I suppose I'll start a new thread alerting members that it is now possible for proper fitment of FIA rated mounts and seats.
