I don't like the l brackets. they look flimsy and will pivot along the bolts in the seat. I think the 1 piece design for those are better.

I have a sliding one-piece rail I'll send you for free if you end up having to fab something little anyhow.

It came with my Corbeau Forza and had Sparco brackets on it which I used. I'm not sure it the rails are Sparco or Corbeau, but they're solid and have about 7" of adjustability. Came out of a C5 Corvette and are just a little wide for Miata. Would involve grinding out stock "humps", and narrowing the railset 1.5". Pics and dimensions are here: https://www.miataturbo.net/forum/t38081/

If you're at all up for this project let me know and it's yours for price of shipping. I keep tripping over the damn thing and will never get around to modifying it.

Thanks gospeed. Very much appreciate the offer. I am going to see what I can come up with first before causing trouble for you.

Is racefab worthy of my ***? I'm about to dump my Sparcos for a real seat that I feel safe in.

Well, I know that a bunch of guys are running them out here. Including my friend in his GT2 at the track. For the money, it is hard to beat them.
