Seat brackets

[MazdaRider]

Are their any other seat brackets that are universal with ours for aftermarket seats

[MrMazda92]

None that I have ever seen... I believe Sleeper6 and AaronTietje have come up with bracket solutions in recent months.

I am working on a fairly universal bracket project right now, intending to swap between Mazda3 and stock seats, as the Mazda3 seats are more comfortable for long drives. It's a slow project, I move at the pace of an inebriated snail when building most things...

Sparco just made a pare for mx3
$140.00 each

Do You know the part number? And do you know if you need new sliders too?

[AaronTietje]

These are the best seats brackets out there IMO: http://www.plantedtechnology.com/

Also will run you about 140 each.

I just made my own this weekend... Cost me less than 10 bucks and some fabrication time. But the FD bucket fits nice. I will need to lower the rear a bit more but other than that it sits about as high as the 92-93 buckets.

Josh you can't just come in here and say stuff like that with out pictures.

[MazdaRider]

If any ones heard of wedge brackets cost $105 shipped

lol I will put some up this week The FD bucket is narrower and is made of fiberglass vs the heavy MX buckets. It is quite nice to ride in.

Agreed.

Fine Fine... I snapped a couple quick ones this morning.





My welds are OK I am not really that worried about them as long as they are strong. the base of the RX bucket is about 6.5" narrower than either MX seat. As I mentioned I need to do some more work to it, like lower the rear more and slide it back some. It sits level which is what mattered. I was in a hurry, my 94' busted a spring and mice had chewed the foam in the base so it was pretty uncomfortable. I drilled out all of the OE mounting points off of the OE rails and used them with 1/8" plate mild steel to weld the rails to.

[AaronTietje]

I like it. The seat looks good in there.

[Josh]

the FD seat fits really well in there, being smaller than the 92-93's it is far more of a sport bucket. It has no springs inside and is a fiberglass shell so it is lighter even. I am going to play with it more, going to slide the rail back further, and drop the rear down about 1.5-2", but this will eventually go into the RS, but need to find a mate to this near mint suede bucket...

[MrMazda92]

Josh, these look far more relaxed in the shoulder area. Definitely appeals to me, as that is the only point of discomfort I found with stock seats!

[Josh]

These are awesome. So much more comfortable than either sets I have the 92's and the 94's. They feel great in the shoulder area, the lower lumbar also. the rails are just kind of tricky is all, but now that I have done it the other side will be cake. They are small in comparison to the 92's and 94's, especially in the base, but that is only because I am kind of a bigger guy. They feel just as good as a standard sparco bucket IMO, and a little more comfortable.
