Seat Bracket Fabrication?

[DanH]

Anyone know a company competent to safely fabricate some seat brackets for side mount buckets that I want to mount on some recaro or even BMW OEM sliders? Hopefully somewhere in the South East of England. I've already established I could get a great job done by Black Falcon near the ring

Thanks,

Dan

Any decent fabricator will be able to knock up some seat frames. Depends where in the south you are but try GHE based in Maldon, 01621 856956. As long as you have the seat to be used and the frames your going to use should be an easy job.
Just out of interest are you planning on using alu or steel?

Demon Tweeks done some pretty good alloy universal mounts. I am using them.

Would be much quicker and cheaper to start with a product and modify.

The product codes are 489, 490, 492, 499FL and 489PRO

made my own from 7 mm plate and angle
made a template from card scribed it on to steel
hacked it out with a saw and a drill...
job done

Dunno - probably steel as I'm not sure I trust ally if its bodged up

Thanks for the recommendations chaps. So far the universal mounts I've seen would put the seat up too high, but will check out the items suggested.

If anyone knows a competent place south of London (surrey area), that would be ideal. Essex is ok, but a bit of a slog in this car...

If you want somehwere a bit closer then try Barwell Motorsport, 01372 457788. They run the Aston Martin British Gt cars but will do custom fabricating if you want.

Thanks I will give them a shot.

SDW can do pukka bent aluminium seat brackets without cracking (8mm plate I think)

They should also be able to help you out if you'd prefer a fabricated route.
