Measures baquet bases

Unlike other manufacturers, our bases are designed to center the seat as much as possible with respect to the position of the steering wheel, always within the possibilities of each body, bucket designs, etc.

Since they are designed to mount directly to the bodywork without modification, we need a specific measurement of the seat anchorage area to ensure that once the bases are bolted to the bucket, they still align with the bodywork anchorage points.

It is important to note that the measurement we need is the width between the anchors and NOT THE TOTAL WIDTH OF THE SEAT. Knowing the width between anchors, we can fabricate the bases accordingly so that your installation is direct, simple and without modifications.

The bases are manufactured with a certain adjustment margin, since depending on whether the car has carpet or not, the positioning of the bases may vary slightly, which is why they are always manufactured within an adjustment range of X centimeters depending on the model. In each of the ads, there are the base options to choose from according to the width of the seat.

Normally by entering the bucket model, manufacturer and size in Google we can know the width between anchors in a graph or illustration of the manufacturer itself, but if we do not have this measurement, we can always measure our own seat at home.

In case of measuring it ourselves, this is how it should be done correctly:

X.- Position the seat on a smooth surface and place an angle, square or ruler on each side. The upper tip of the angle should just touch the thread where the base would be screwed to the bucket and the lower surface of the angle should be flat with respect to where we have the seat resting. Once we have everything positioned, we take the interior distance and thus we will know which of the available models is the one we need.

You must bear in mind that bucket seats are not usually completely flat in this area and that is why it is important that we use a flat surface as a reference. If we position the squares or angles following the shape of the seat, we will get an erroneous measurement as shown in the following images. If the measurement is wrong, and you select bases that do not match the actual measurement, it is possible that you will have problems when installing the seat and that the holes do not match the anchors to the body, having to use washers or making new holes for its installation.

In case of doubt, it is better to contact us, since the bases are manufactured according to the order and NO RETURNS OR EXCHANGES ARE MADE.
