FAQs

Are these mounts suitable for road cars?

While FIA approved, these mounts are primarily designed for competition vehicles. Ensure they meet local regulations for road use in your region if intended for such application.

What is the FIA approval for?

FIA approval signifies that the product meets specific safety standards set by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile for use in sanctioned motorsport events.

Can I use these with a non-listed seat brand?

While they are designed for OMP, Sparco, Cobra, and Sabelt, compatibility may exist with other brands if their side mounting points align with the hole patterns. However, this is not guaranteed, and FIA approval may be voided if not used with certified equipment.

What is the difference between high profile and low profile mounts?

High profile mounts typically offer a greater range of vertical adjustment for the seat, allowing for a higher seating position, which can be beneficial for taller drivers or specific vehicle interiors.

How many adjustment positions are there?

These mounts offer a minimum of 36 different seating positions due to their extensive multi-hole design.

What material are the mounts made from?

They are constructed from 3mm thick powder-coated steel for durability and strength.

Troubleshooting

Mounts do not align with seat or subframe.

Double-check that you are using the correct vehicle-specific subframe and that the seat is compatible. Ensure you are using the correct orientation of the side mount, as they can often be flipped.

Difficulty achieving desired seating position.

Explore the full range of mounting holes available on both the side mount and the seat. Adjust the subframe position if your subframe allows for further adjustment.

Bolts feel loose after installation.

Re-check all mounting hardware. Ensure you are using the correct length bolts for each connection point. Use thread locker where appropriate and torque bolts to the manufacturer's recommended specifications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These side mounts are designed to attach directly to a compatible vehicle-specific seat subframe and then to the side mounting points of your race seat. Ensure your vehicle has the appropriate subframe installed. Align the side mounts with the subframe and the seat, using the provided multi-hole patterns to achieve the desired position. Tighten all bolts securely, ensuring they are torqued to the seat manufacturer's specifications.

Compatibility: These mounts are compatible with OMP, Sparco, Cobra, and Sabelt seats. Crucially, they require a vehicle-specific seat subframe that allows for side mounting. Always verify compatibility with your specific vehicle model and seat before purchase.

Care: Clean the mounts with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the powder coating. Periodically check all mounting bolts for tightness, especially after track use or off-road driving.
