problem installing custem seats Options

[speedyrider]

i just bougt RAGE sport seats.
nog i have problems fitting them.
they came with universal rails.
and to make them fit i firt made a platform.
and mounted the seats on there.

now the problem is that the seats are way to high.
i m allmost sitting with my head against the roof.
so does anyone have any hints how i could meke them fit.

i tought buying a platform from sparco or something like that but i couldn't find one for a 6 gc

now how much difrence is there in the mounts of a 5 gen a 6 gen and a 7 gen ?

so that i might buy a 5 th or a 6 th and customise it


(and i did do a search, but couldnt really find what i needed )

Back from the dead. I'm attempting to do something similar. So far, I've gleaned:

* Really important to get the brackets TIG-welded for tensile strength
* Some have had success cutting the tabs off with dremel or by drilling out the rivets, where as others have had to resort to a plasma cutter

So I have some questions:
* I see that on my Celica seats, the brackets are both welded and riveted. What is the name of that type of rivet? It looks very heavy duty and has a cylindrical head.
* Should I be trying to rivet as well as weld the brackets onto the rails for my new seat?
* The distance between the rais for my new seats are about 40mm (almost 2") narrower than the Celica seats. What have other people done when they can't use the existing Celica brackets?
