Hi there
Just wondering

will this sparco seat will fit on my NA8 with just screwing two more holes on stock rails?

Image
or do I have to custom the rails?


Cheers

Oscar

Would help to list your location. The install isn't that difficult if you know how to use a drill. You could attempt it yourself.

I did it myself and I don't know how to use a drill. The NA ones are easy. With the NB some grinding is required.

its pretty simple to install:

flip the sparco seat upside down and measure the holes vertically under the seat
it should measure up to 270mm

unbolt your seat from the rails, measure 270mm and drill a hole in the rails for both sides
(you can reuse the bolts taken off from the stock seat for the sparco seat)

All you need is a high impact drill + some muscles 8)

it takes about 20mins

When broady and I did my one it tool us a while longed than that. Mind you it was an NB rail so grinding was part of the job. We did fry a Dremel as well. :lol:
