Decided to sell a couple of unused seats that I planned to fit inside my FD but never got around to it.
They are a pair of FIA approved Bimarco Expert FIA Racing Seats. They are side mounted and as mentioned never been fitted so are as new.
Now when I say “as newâ€, one of them is completely unmarked but the other has suffered a nibble during storage! Luckily the nibble is under the removable knee support so it is completely unnoticeable when fitted to the seat.
All the details including size can be seen in this link and as you can see these sell for around the £300 each in the UK but my asking price is £420 for both.http://www.sportseats4u.co.uk/brand/bimarco-seats/bimarco-bucket-seats/bimarco-seats-expert-fia-approved-bucket-seat/prod_795.html (http://www.sportseats4u.co.uk/brand/bimarco-seats/bimarco-bucket-seats/bimarco-seats-expert-fia-approved-bucket-seat/prod_795.html)
They can be picked up from either the East Sussex area (Battle) or North London /Herts (Cheshunt)
Open to offers. Any questions just ask.

Any idea on how to get hold of mounts, or is it a bespoke job?

It really depends on if you wanted them fixed or on runners.
If fixed I would use the ones Atomic rex sells but if you want them on runners there are several different options from readymade universal ones from the large manufactures i.e. Cobra & Corbeau or use the normal fd seat runners and adapt them with readily available side mounts like below.
There was a large thread about this exact subject but I can\'t find it now:3Confused
PS I\'m sure I have got a spare set of fd runners somewhere
Hmmm... tempted...

You won\'t find 2 brand new quality seats cheaper.
And these definitely fit in an FD width wise?

I haven’t fitted these actual seats into my FD but I had some momo seats which were wider and they fitted ok. When I bought these I specifically checked the width to make sure they would fit.
Again, there is a thread somewhere that gives the sizes that will fit and I\'m quite happy to measure mine for you at any point you want.
Or you can see what other people have fitted and check the measurements against these.
If you really are interested I can take out one of my leather OEM seats and put one in and take a pic if you like but obviously it won’t be on any mounts.
Here is a list from over the pond of seats that do and don\'t fit so you can compare the sizes.

1. Stock FD Seats (does this really need to be on the list?)
2. Recaros from the Spirt R
3. Gias Lowmax
4. Bride Zeta III
5. Bride Vios III lowmax

7. Memoryfab s58
8. Corbeau - some models, they supply the custom racks.
9. Sparco Sprint V
10. Recaro Profi and or SPG ( with slight rubbing to the door but not much, if you use Recaro rails instead of bride it will fit fine)

13. Sparco Milanos
14. Memory FAB S58
15. Recaro Spirit R will fit with AUTO POWER 6 point cage

bucket for the side bars to fit. Everything else fits!
Will NOT fit
1. Sparco Fighter
2.Corbeu fx1 pro fit with no problems ,but if you have an autopower 6pt roll cage you won\'t be able to run the front of the cage because the seat sits high and blocks the halo bars .
