heinzboehmer's 2002 Topaz 6MT Coupe

[heinzboehmer]

Looking at my car as I get in to drive home, the Nogaro is in contact with the center console when the seat is forward enough to access the rear bolts. Don’t think there’s much inward to be had.

Hmm, on my car I can max out the forward travel on the sliders before I get any significant interference between the seat and the transmission tunnel. Difference might be down to where we placed our seats vertically on the brackets?




Seems to me like I can still push them inward a bit with my seating position

I don't know if you considered these, but I have them on my car with the PP ABE and I've been really happy with them. I used OEM manual sedan sliders.

Woah! Thanks for bringing those to my attention, hadn't seen them before.

They honestly look pretty much exactly like what I had in mind. The TUV approval and certificates are very appealing. I like their slider release handle better than the Brey Krause one too.

One thing I don't love about their design is how they incorporated the sub strap mount. I get that it's made to be universal, but I think I can simplify it greatly.

I think I'm still gonna go ahead with my own version, just because I think it'll be fun to understand and work around all the constrains, but this will be an awesome reference to have and I might decided at some point in the process that it makes more sense to just buy this product.

How is the steering wheel alignment with these brackets? Think you could measure the offset of the seat centerline to the sliders centerline?

Even just the offset of the two parallel faces on the outboard bracket (the face that bolts to the rail and the face that bolts to the seat) would be useful. Can backcalculate the centerline offset with the seat and slider width.

Very Nice. Who is the M texture fabric from?
