Topic: Mounting a seat to the floor

I've been trying for a few days now to come up with a solution to mount my seat (a Momo composite with OMP's angle brackets). Interior space is limited so I need the seat as low as reasonably possible and I'd like to have it on sliders and mounted at a 5-15° angle, but if it's infeasible I can forego either or both of those. I've gone through several iterations of a weld-in/bolt-in bracket like in the second picture, but I'm stumped trying to come up with a good way to attach anything to the floor with all its bends and ribs.

I know I'm not the first person to race a car with a non-flat floor (or even the first person to race an MX-3), so what would you do in this situation?

I turned some stand-offs to render a flat floor plane. If one of the stand off lands on a ridge- turn it to the maxlength, and whip out the grinder to form the car end.

You can adapt the stock seat mounts and sliders, OR
weld in some cross pieces between the rocker box and
trans tunnel.

Re: Mounting a seat to the floor

I totally did not use a sledge hammer to even out our floor.    Now the seat is too low for short guys so we need a cushion to sit on.    OTOH you could probably be 6'5 and still have cage to helmet clearance.
