Scheel Seat Rails and Rail Hinges

This photo gallery will provide you with valuable information so you can decide which seat-rail installation method you may want to use in your own GT project. One could install the GT Scheel seat rails and seats using what I will now refer to as the 'road-racing' attachment points https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/88660129 and brackets https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/88660132, or, you can do what I did which was to use the 'rally' cars brackets and mounting locations. Please note that these two installation methods are very different and the way the 'rally' cars seat-rails are mounted is a whole lot more complex and expensive to implement than the other.

This may sound a little trivial but it is an important part of the GT seat-rails and seats installation process and how you fit in the picture. Here are some important questions: Are you racing the GT https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/22237449 or simply planning to do some spirited https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/22201927 street driving? Would you be wearing a helmet? Will your GT use the steel-frame reinforcements https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/86736091 incorporated in the Targa top? How much headroom https://pbase.com/image/88803463 will you have or need? Taking in consideration your heigth, weight, your overall body strudture and how you'll drive the car, all of these factors will play a very important role in your final decision on which way to go.

Due to the many photos I now have related to the installation of the GT Scheel seat rails and what's involved, I tried to make the navigation in this section a little more user-friendly by categorizing the photos as best I could and also grouping them according to their relevancy to the fabrication and installation process. I hope to have provided you with some help in deciding which installation method to use and what's best for your project, and budget.
