I have same seats as you and initially fitted them without but found a pair of adaptors on Ebay - totally transformed the seat position - base is higher and more tilted, feels more comfortable. Had to adapt my seat runners to the brackets that were on my Sparcos. Seat now fits higher and for me seems to be a nice position. Took it out today to a breakfast meet and the drive was much comfier than before and feels better sitting up a bit higher. The Missus never liked the old Sparco buckets and she said she much preferred these ones. That's a positive for me now, as we do drive to the odd country pub around the Brecon/Crickhowell area some Sundays for a bite to eat. Got a pic of your seats? Would love to see them and how you got your bracket. Sounds like you have them sorted bang on 👍. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pack 2000 Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 I always found the original Scheel position a bit low in Mk2 RS2000s. Even when raised I still have a few inches of headroom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pictures of mine - Drivers seat with RS bracket (passenger is without until I make another now I have a pattern!) + piccy of bracket for info. You might be able to see the angle difference. I had buckets fitted when I bought the car that had a DIY frame below to fix seat to Ford Runners which although slid front and back, felt way to low and flat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely more height on that bracket and something to consider. Looks good, thank you 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monza Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Haha, now I've almost fitted the seats I'm thinking Fishnets . Happy with the look of the overall seat though when fitted and it's definitely more comfortable than the buckets, which were very low compared to these. One more seat to fit now and then have a look on eBay for a tilt Adjuster wheel. Seats look fantastic Dale....cracking job!!Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
