Sparco Bucket Seat Sliders - Let It Slide

As long as it is, the lever proved too short due to the sliders' extreme rearward position. Wallic said he wanted a bit more of an ejection-seat theme, so he extended them with a 3-inch U-bolt from the local hardware store.

Unlike most mechanisms, the Sparcos adjust by pulling the handle up, not sideways. The 3/8-inch-diameter tube handle merely slides over small release brackets. The tube can be bent or replaced altogether to alter the track width.

Wallic mounted the seat exactly where he wanted it, however, before he did, he adjusted the slider to give him his 80/20 range.

It may be too extreme for most, but the forward-most adjustment would put all but the shortest drivers within reach of the wheel, pedals, and shifter.

Wallic finished up the install with brackets for a pair of vintage aircraft harnesses. Note that oversized washers beyond the steel floor beneath the wood prevent the bolts from pulling through the floor in the event of a collision.
