Sparco seat brackets-Somethings messed up
Sparco seat brackets-Somethings messed up
Hey
When I got my sparco seats I asked around about how and what i need to install them. I decided to go with sparco equipment. DEZOD and a few others told me I needed the bases (5005024, 5005025), the sliders (00493) and the hardware kit (00501). I would have ordered through him but with customs and canadian tax it is too complicated and $$ to bring it over the border.
SO I went to the local shop and they told me I also needed a "500" adapter kit. So all said and done it was 513 CDN (430US) just for the install equipment. This seems rediculus.
What i want is if my local shop accidentatly ripped my off because they sold me an extra $100 of stuff I didnt need. However, whats confusing, if you look at the picture I attached it seems like you definately need the 500 adapter or the install would be impossible.
So I want to know how people can install the seats without the 500 adapter or if the 500 adapter is supposed to come with the base, in which case I was inadvertantly ripped off.
Slightly larger and more clear image same as above
Any help is appreciated, I've been trying to figure this out for weeks.

I had to buy the adapter for my brackets as well. You definitly need them but i dont think i paid that much for all my hardware to install the seats. I cant remember exactly how much i paid but I know it wasnt that much. The adapters costed me $80 tax in. Thats all i can remember
