Seat from a '69 Camaro (yes my car is a 68)
Weight: 48lbs

Pro2000 Seat
Sparco Side Mounts
Sparco Sliders
Sparco Adapter Base
Total Weight: 30lbs

Weight Savings: 18lbs





If I do a fixed back seat on the the pasenger side as well, and remove the rear seat entirely, I'm estimating a weight loss total of
18+18+50 = 86lbs! Boo Ya, free speed and handling. Now to get rid of all those boxes in my car, haha.

Instead of using bolts to fasten the seat base to the floor, I followed what TitoJones did and used studs to the floor...no more poking around the carpet to locate the seat. I used 2" studs and loctite-d them in place...now removing/installing the seat takes about 2 minutes.

Next time I have a chance to work on the car, I will hopefully be getting the exhaust installed and then sifting through the clutch release issue. Getting there!

Thanks!

Steven- What sliders are those? Universal or ? I looked on the spaco site and the don't show one specifically for a first gen....Thanks, Jason
