Did a search. Found that most people had to fabricate their own seat brackets.
Is there any seat manufacturer that makes brackets for our cars. I have dibs on a pair of Tenzo R seats but they dont come with brackets and Tenzo doesn't make them for our cars.
If my only option is to have someone fabricate them then I might have to think twice.

I'm in the same boat. I'm having someone make me a set of brackets. Its probably less expensive than buying a set and having them shipped.
If they're done right, using the right material, I'm sure they'd be just as good.
I'm having them made by another Tib owner, so I know that they'll fit perfectly.

Corbeau makes brakets but not sure if they will mount to the tenzo r seats. but you can always just redrill the seat holes if they dont line up... Corbeaus are brackets and sliders together.

Im not sure what materials would be used if they were made custom. And since there's an element of safety involved, I'd rather not chance it.
The corbeau brackets are $100 a pop. Owch!!

lemme know if you find a solution... I've been trying to figure this one out for over 6 months now... I tried fabbing a set, which failed miserably, and took hours to make. I've heard of people using metal squared tubing in other cars (besides tibs), but all 4 holes in the floor aren't level, so I don't know how that would work without welding an elbow where needed.
I have 2 Villain Racing seats. I'll have to measure the distance of the holes from each other to see if there's any consistancy between brands.
