    Kirkey Seats

    Hey all,

    I am considering upgrading to Kirkey seats with the fabric covers. My question to you is, how do these mount? I have a 93 Fox hatch and would want both drivers and passenger side.

    Anybody have any pictures of how they mount?
    I know they don't recline, so can they be removed easy? Clips?
    Will they work on my existing tracks? (sliders)
    Do they require alot of fabrication to mount or can they somehow mount to my existing floor studs/holes?

    Thanks!
    John

    I bought a set of seat mounts from Rigid Race Cars but I don't believe they are in business anymore or at least not under the same name??? They were basically an aluminum fixed mount that used the oem layout to secure to the floor. Then you had to layout and fasten your fixed kirkey seats to the new seat frame. No big deal but they are not adjustable if that is what you are looking for.

    Thanks Mike....
    They do not have to be adjustable.....just removable, so i can get into the back if needed.
    OEM layout is what I am looking for....
    I'll see if I can find info on them.

    The company is no longer around. Come take some measurements, they would be easy to replicate.
