FAQs

Are these mounts compatible with all Sparco seats?

These mounts are compatible with Sparco seats that feature side-mounting points with a 290mm bolt hole spacing. Please check your specific seat's specifications.

What size bolts should I use?

The product description does not specify bolt sizes. Typically, M8 or M6 bolts are used for seat mounting. It is recommended to use high-tensile bolts appropriate for motorsport applications and consult your seat manufacturer's recommendations.

Can I use these mounts with a bottom-mount seat?

No, these are specifically designed for seats that mount from the sides.

Are sliders included with these mounts?

No, this product is for the steel side mounts only. If your vehicle or seat requires sliders for fore-aft adjustment, they must be purchased separately and installed between the side mounts and the vehicle subframe, or integrated into your seat base.

How do I clean the black powder coating?

Clean the mounts with a soft cloth dampened with water or a mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.

What does 'FIA Compliant' mean for these mounts?

FIA compliant means that these mounts have been designed and manufactured to meet the safety standards set by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) for motorsport equipment, ensuring they can withstand the rigors of racing.

Can the length of the mounts be modified?

It is not recommended to modify the length of the mounts, as this could compromise their structural integrity and FIA compliance. If the length is an issue, consider alternative mounting solutions or ensure proper fitment within your vehicle's intended space.

Troubleshooting

Seat does not sit level

Ensure the mounts are correctly oriented and that all mounting points on the seat and vehicle floor are properly aligned. Check for obstructions under the mounts.

Bolt holes do not align

Verify that your seat has a 290mm side-mount bolt spacing. Double-check that you are using the correct mounting points on the vehicle's subframe. Minor adjustments might be possible with slotting if the vehicle mount allows.

Mounts appear loose after installation

Re-check and tighten all bolts and nuts securing the mounts to both the seat and the vehicle floor. Ensure you are using appropriate hardware and that threads are not stripped.

Corrosion noticed on mounts

Clean the affected area with a mild degreaser and a soft brush. Apply a thin layer of protective lubricant or touch-up paint if necessary. Ensure the area is dry to prevent further issues.

Care:

  • Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

  • Inspect for any signs of wear or corrosion, particularly after aggressive use.
