    I want to install either Sparco bucket seats or OMP into my F355 Berlinetta. Does anyone have advice for a mounting bracket? The holes for the factory seats are unusual in that the front bolts screw in parallel to the floor and the rear bolts are perpendicular to the floor.
    Thanks for any help here.

    You may not need the sparco base, but that looks like it'd make life a lot easier. I bolted my brackets directly to the stock sliders. It required drilling 2 new holes to match up bolt locations. This was for a narrow lotus exige seat.

    I had BBI develop some F355 Recaro (I believe same as Sparco) side mounts that bolt to the factory sliders if you're interested.
