Seat spacers? Ideas needed.

[Stuiemc]

I run Corbeau Clubsport seats with runners and X-Low subframes the problem I've got is I want to ditch the runners, for two reasons really one being I don't have any adjustment due to the seat catching on the door bar and secondly there piss poor making the seat move around.

So the obvious solution would be to just ditch the runners BUT I need the extra height they give (well I think I do). I don't want to go back to OMP subframes as I hated how they made the seats lean in. So I'm thinking can I just use a couple strips of aluminium to fit inbetween the subframe and side mounts to act as a spacer? Obviously I'd prefer to use steel but 20mm steel flat bar won't be light and technically it's just sandwiched between two steel plates.

I'm 5ft 8" so if anyone out there uses the same setup without runners itl nice to hear your opinion, or any other ideas that could help.

What I've got in mind

Cheers

SHITTING HELL!! £62 For some strips of alli!!!!

Ano haha I'd obviously never pay that considering you can get a around 2m for £20.

They also sell these for £80!

Think I'm just going to use some steel box section, I just wanted to know what's safe and if OMP are happy to sell something similar I'm happy.

Hi,

I purchased 1 inch alloy box section (nice and light) for my drivers seat about £25.00 for fitting my Corbeau Club Sport seats to the custom seat frames I bought from Jon Foz on this forum.

Just get some quality runners as the ones that come on the Clubsports are utter tosh, yeah you'll have them in a fixed position due to the door bar, whatever that is? but they wont move around like the Clubsport ones. Remember you can lower and higher via the side mounts as well?

If it helps, this is what I did with OMP subframes and also recentered them. Also added black plastic end bungs to finish it off....

The box section you've used is exactly what I had in mind, yeah I've seen them plastic end caps they make a nice touch!
