Well, you find your seat -- then you have to get custom mounts made.

I don't know if it makes a difference, but i'm going to buy a Bride bucket seat. Will those sliders fit a bride seat?

the brackets will have to be custom, so in the end, yes everything will fit

BTW when your buying racing seats make sure they come at least FIA certified or SFI (prefered)

like sparco cause they are built to sustain "15-28g forces during stict testing"

non certified seats have been found to rip(frame) at about 2g forces which is VERY unsafe...so check for ceritfications

also if you decide on racing harnesses be aware you MUST replace them every 2 years because their webbing deteriorates from the UV exposure and DO NOT MOUNT THEM BELOW 5-30* below your shoulders..if you mount them at an angle higher then 30* MAXIMUM you will probably suffer massive injury during an accident
