Kirby Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Hey Guys, Following an old thread I test fit some FD rx7 seats to my shell to see how it would go. Looks like the 260Z (2 str) has a much higher seat mount rail than a 240z. I'm tempted to cut down and install my own seat mounts. But before I do, can someone please measure a stock two seater and give me the following details. Seat all the way forward: Leading edge (under knee) to firewall Leading edge (under knee) to floor and then repeat for all the way back - I no longer have stock seats to try out. at a guess I am about 50mm to high.

gilltech Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I have a very early 260 2-seat. AFAIK the seats are the same as the 240. But in any case they use plastic spacer blocks on the seat track studs to adjust the seat height. So while I can measure for you it depends on how many spacers I have fitted. But the later 260s had a different seat rail mounting bolt system, is that maybe what you are referring to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cracker Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 When I ran FD seats in my 240z I used the FD rails on custom mounts which I had bolted to the stock mounts - so I could reverse it later. Not very ADR compliant but preserved my originality. Because I had bolt heads to account for, I ended up mounting 10-20mm higher than I needed to (if I just welded adaptor mounting plates, for example), but because the FD seat itself wasn't as "tall" as the stock seat, I ended up sitting at a reasonable height.
