Seat Adjustment

[Chilly]

Anyone have any ideas or add-on that can be used on the seats for any adjustment. Would like to be able to adjust the seat instead of stuck in one position.

These are great for a little adjustment and better seat position. You only get four adjustment points and not as simple as sliders but this keeps your seat low and the tilt feels more correct.

Thanks very much, appreciate the info.

+1 on the breeze kit. It also tilts the seat and provides an extra support piece to go under the cushion.

I used a summit seat bracket by itself on the passenger side, gives a bit of height and angle adjustment. Worked well...

Used the same bracket (cut down to reduce height) to get an angle on the driver's side and then topped it off with a slider. Also worked very well...

Another +1 on the Breeze kit. The slight tilt it provides really makes the seating position more comfortable.

FF sells seat adjusters. That's what I used.

I used Jegs sliders on both sides. They lock on each slider. https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/70220/10002/-1 They are very solid. Add's about 3/4 inch to the height. I'm 5' 8". A bonus is you can clean behind the seats.

I have the Breeze kit. Once installed, I have never adjusted the seat, or needed too.

Another fan of the Breeze kit. When it arrived I was a bit surprised at the quality of the parts. Clean and accurate cuts, bends, holes, heavier metal than expected, and it does a very good job. However, I have two pair of sliders I'll sell cheap. ;)

I didn't feel safe with sheet metal attachments for the seat when tracking the car. Also adjusting the seat during an event was impossible if you had to work under the car (it took way too long). The adjustable rail solutions aren't really supported by the rules. So I welded attachment points to the frame and built some brackets with nutserts at different positions so the Kirkey seats could be easily moved if needed for a different driver. 135994

I'm not sure if you're talking about the breeze kit or not, but it doesn't require any access under the car to use any of the 4 adjustable positions. Is all bolted from the top, accessed under the velcro'd seat base.

Another fan of the Breeze seat mounts. Although I haven't needed to adjust the seats, if I ever sell the car, the new owner can easily adjust to his/her liking. The Breeze setup gives you about 3" of total adjustment front-to-back. The base is intended to be riveted onto the floor, but you could also add bolts through the floor if you prefer. The seat attachment part is then mounted to the base plate in one of four positions (this is your adjustability), and finally the seat is mounted to the seat attachment with bolts through the seat frame that are accessed under the seat bottom cushion. To adjust later, remove the seat bottom and the four bolts holding the seat in place, then remove the four nuts holding the seat mount to the bottom plate. Reposition the seat mount and reassemble. Less than ten minutes effort.

Has anybody used the Breeze mounts with the low back Kirkies?

I advise against mounting the Kirkey to our 70602 primarily because the Kirkey seats are is meant to be mounted by the sides and not the bottom.
