Did you have a hard time lining up the seat with the steering wheel? I Have somr sparco seats in right now but I cant seem to slide it over enough to the right. I wonder if its just the seat being too big or the bracket setup.
What BK rail did you end up with? They offer 3 sizes. I bought the OMP WRC-R M'Rain edition (standard WRC-R size) and am trying to get my mounting purchased. I too was going to copy Bryans setup, but was concerned about mid-width.Copied your seat rail setup, but with the OMP WRC-R as my seat. I'm 6'2" and can confirm no need to for removable wheel, more than enough room to work with.

What spec bolt (the golden one) did you use to bolt the mount to the floor? Similar to you, I can't fit a Torx wrench to use the OEM bolt and need a traditional hex instead. Thanks!

I just measured the OEM and it came out to 28 not 38. Would this mean that the bolt you used was 35 not 45? I tried a 40mm and its too long.Some 10.9 grade bolt

OEM is 38mm long. I think I went to 45mm
Sorry you are right, 28.I just measured the OEM and it came out to 28 not 38. Would this mean that the bolt you used was 35 not 45? I tried a 40mm and its too long.
yea the rear bolts are a pain in the ass, you have to do it by feel and a normal box wrench.Turns out I am just going to ditch my Sparco side mount and sliders for a simpler, safer, and better mounting option. I was going to simply mount my Sparco side mount directly to my Doteki seat rail bracket, but the holes didn't line up, followed by it being impossible to screw in the rear screws into the bracket due to the seat being too low and in a hard to reach place.
@razorlab , On your Brey Krause mount, do you have enough room to stick your hand behind the seat and use a wrench to wrench down those bolts? Or did you have to follow another order of assembly to mount it?
Do you think going with a plate base like planted or the sparco one would be better? Or is the Brey Krause route the best in your opinion. Also, how is your height with just the floor mount and BK mount?yea the rear bolts are a pain in the ass, you have to do it by feel and a normal box wrench.
