I was wondering how most people mounted their Kirkey seat in their race car? I just started fabbing up my mounts and installing my chrome-moly cage and wanted to see some other ideas . I will post a picture of the seat brackets that I fabbed up later tonight, its time to go to work now.

Im doing the same thing right now and like to see the way you did yours

then powdercoated it all red ..

Get the Kirkey floor seat mounts from Jegs or Summit. Kirkey PN 99204 one part number is for one pair of brackets for one seat.

In ralph's car we had DMC race cars install the brackets on top of a set of NHRA approved dual locking seat tracks along with a sliding rear seat mount using Quick pins to fasten it. This way when Ralph drove ( over 6 foot tall ), the seat could be further back. When I drove, ( not quite as tall ) I could move the seat forward. Passed tech with no issues.



Dennis at DMC made spacers to make the pass seat the same height at the driver's side and just bolted to the floor. On another car, he installed quick pins in the rear portion of the passenger's seat mount allowing it to tilt forward to allow access to an intercooler.

I welded tube from the rocker bar tot the trans tunnel and hust mounted the seats to them. Another option to look at.

Where could a person find these NHRA approved sliders and sliding rear seat mount?

Thanks

The sliders can be found at Jegs or Summit. Jegs number 555-70225. From what I was told, in order for them to be NHRA approved, both tracks must have locking mechanisms. Some of the cheaper tracks only have a lock on one of the slides. The rear seat back mount was fabbed , but a similar piece can also be found at jegs. It is number 550-40486.

You wouldn't happen to have a good picture of the rear seat mount installed?

Thanks

Here is the pic I was talking about this morning, I have 4 pics total.

I made the bracket out of 1/2 " black pipebought from home depot for the connecting pieces, some tabs and gussets from some scrap laying around.

On the four corners I took 1 1/2 ID pipe cut at the angle of the seat and put upper shock rubber isolaters inside so the seat wasnt so rigid going down local roads here in Michigan.

I tried to fab everything so that the bottom brackets were level. I intend on attaching to the rocker bar of my cage just like the pic above, but I intend on putting some adjustment in the tabs for a different owner or taller driver or whatever.

Thanks Grumpy for posting your pics,you did what i wanted to do in the first place.I was told that youre not suppose to have sliders on the kirkey but i guess its alright to do it that way.

those kirky brackets look nice.the 1 by the trans tunnel will have to be 1" shorter for the rais in the floor.the floor is not flat so you will need 4 spacers about 3/4" thick to space up the brackets.
OH YA,the seat is wider than the holes in the floor you will need to adapt to that.
i bent a gox shape on a metel brake and mounted it to the floor with the seat on top.

I tried using my sliding seat track and arent wide enough to mount to the kirkey seat brackets,damn
