best bet would be go to a welding shop and have them weld a bracket for you to mount it with.





post pics of what you did.

Well that would be easy if the brackets were level.



I took the bottom out of my stock seat and Im cutting it down. Hopefully it will work.

i bought the corbeau seats from the store and the brakets that were meant for my car didnt' line up right. So my brother and me cut and rewelded the brakets to fit. If you don't have a welder or know someone who welds this would be tough. One thing that pisses me off is that the seats sit higher and now i have to cut out some of the padding in the bottom because my head hits the roof. Damn RX-7's not ever working right. But ohh well.

I used the brackets from the stock seats and drilled holes in them to match up to the new seats (not apc, but similar).



sparco and corbeau and the other name brands don't have people make seats for them. sorry. apc is nowhere near the quality of those brands. neither are mine. doesn't matter though...

Actually I have talked to the manufactors of these seats they told me they make the seats for Sparco APC TenzoR and a few others, It makes sense bc they all use the same mounting patterns. What they told me to do was buy the sparco brakets and they will fit my apc seats, but I dont have the money to shell out. I think I have it figured out I will put up some pics if it works.

maybe the manufacturer of APC seats also makes Sparco seats, but those APC ones are damn uncomfortable to sit in, imho, you probably could've picked up some stock replacements for less that $80, just my .02 cents
