FAQs

Are these mounts suitable for daily driving?

While durable, these mounts are primarily designed for motorsport and performance applications, prioritizing adjustability and FIA compliance. For daily driving, standard or comfort-oriented mounting solutions might be preferred.

What size hardware is needed to mount a seat to these mounts?

Typically, M8 hardware is used. However, always consult the specifications for your specific racing seat, as recommendations can vary.

Can I mount a non-OMP seat with these mounts?

Yes, these mounts are designed to fit Sparco, Cobra, and Sabelt seats that utilize a side mount system, in addition to all OMP side mount seats.

Are these mounts adjustable after installation in the car?

The primary adjustment occurs during the initial setup when you align the mounts to the seat and then to the rails. Fine-tuning the seat position is done by loosening and re-tightening bolts.

What does 'FIA Compliant' mean for these mounts?

FIA compliance indicates that the mounts meet the safety and construction standards set by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile for use in sanctioned motorsport events.

Will these mounts lower my seating position significantly?

Yes, the 'low profile' design is intended to allow for a lower mounting point compared to standard side mounts, which can be beneficial for headroom.

Troubleshooting

Mounts do not align with seat.

Verify the compatibility of your seat with OMP side mounts. Ensure you are using the correct mounting holes on both the seat and the side mount for your intended position.

Difficulty achieving desired seating position.

Explore the full range of adjustment offered by the multi-hole design. Consider if different seat rails might offer additional mounting flexibility.

Fasteners do not tighten correctly.

Ensure you are using the correct M8 hardware size and thread pitch for both the seat and the rail mounting points. Do not overtighten, as this can damage threads.

Mounts appear loose after installation.

Double-check that all bolts are correctly installed and torqued to the recommended specifications. Inspect seat rails for secure mounting to the vehicle floor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have compatible vehicle-specific seat rails or a suitable chassis mounting solution.
  2. Align the OMP side mounts with the mounting points on your chosen seat. Use the multi-hole pattern to achieve the desired angle and position.
  3. Secure the side mounts to the seat using appropriate M8 hardware (typically required, check seat manufacturer specifications).
  4. Mount the assembled seat and side mounts to the vehicle's seat rails or chassis.
  5. Torque all fasteners to the manufacturer's recommended specifications for both the seat, mounts, and rails.

Compatibility:

  • Seats: Compatible with all OMP side mount seats. Also fits Sparco, Cobra, and Sabelt side mount seats.
  • Rails: Requires compatible side mount seat rails. Vehicle-specific rails are recommended for proper fitment and safety.

Care:

  • Clean the aluminum mounts with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish.
  • Periodically check all fasteners for tightness, especially after spirited driving or track use.
