R33: Bucket Seat Mounting? - Help!

As the topic shows, I am looking for ADR approved seat rails/mounts that will bolt in and R33 to mount a bucket seat.

There are various items on ebay and I have looked through the advertisements on SAU including brands such as IAP seat mounts and Shock systems with a little uncertainty...

I want to mount a bucket seat with bottom mounting points. Just where can I look for an ADR approved rail/ mount or the equivalent?

I live in QLD and have contacted Queensland Transport; given a list of contacts to approve my mounting efforts and in the event of sucess, be rewarded with an LK1 Mod plate.

Guidelines are:

Plates used to match up holes (the difference between the seats mounting points and mounting points on the brackets bolted to the floor - used to bolt them together) made from 4mm flat bar or thicker and ADR approved seat brackets/rail.

I don't really feel like forking out the 200 or so dollars just to find out I can be defected by police or something that won't pass the engineering overlook.

Can someone please point me in the right direction? HELP! :D

Sam.

yeh, tried that mate. All the 'experts' keep telling me I need ADR approved rails and mounts. When looking at the rails and mounts themselves, I have contacted various online sellers with them confirming that they may not even come ADR approved.

I thought the guy that approving the adapter bracket (see above) for the seat, should be able to do the mount/rails at the same time ? :/:wave:

I'll keep looking into it though.

      It's more like on average the things I see a lot of things going wrong. Yes, usually the people who reach out are the ones who are having problems but on average it feels like mechanics and tuners here aren't really competent. I swing between thinking my standards are just way too high and wondering whether people really are just this dumb. I just had the strangest 10+ reply argument on a Facebook group over someone insisting that the factory R34 GTT boost control solenoid reduces boost pressure to 5 psi when it's on and raises boost pressure to 7 psi when it's off despite showing the exact plumbing in the factory service manual and the solenoid behavior detailed in the FSM.

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.
