OMG these turned out to be a pain in the @SS to install!!! It seems like nothing lined up right and I had modify the Planted seat base and the Sparco side bracket! What I thought would be a 1 hour install for both seats ended up being about 4 hours just for one seat. It took a lot of trial and error.
The Sparco side brackets bolted on to the seats perfectly. However the Sparco slider mounting holes DID NOT line up with the freakin' Sparco side brackets! I had to drill a hole in the side brackets to put the sliders on. Then when I went to put the Planted seat base on to the sliders...those holes DID NOT line up!!! I had to drill a hole in the Planted base. Then I didn't know that when I re-use the seat belt clip on the Planted seat base, I needed to provide my own hardware. So I ended up taking more time to find a replacement nut to mount the seat belt clip on the seat base. Then when I put the entire set-up (base/sliders/brackets/seat) in to be bolted back in....the seat was crooked and leaned to the outside!! The Planted seat base is not straight so I had to raise the outside mounting point on the side frame to the next hole.
All of that took a lot of trial and error and figuring things out. I also found out that with the stock belt clip, you need to detach the sensor connected to the OEM seat to plug in again. Also, with all of the items I purchased, no mounting hardware such as bolts/nuts were provided. I had to do research and try to find adequate nuts/bolts here in Belgium.
This turned out to be a pain in the arse to do one seat, but I've figured it out and will be putting the other seat in tomorrow. I'll have more detailed pics of the install, now that I know what I'm doing and won't be swearing every minute.
