Using Widric as my front I managed to acquire a old Bride Brix seat. It’s one of those early ones that will change the color to dark purple when they’re left into sun. The early Brides didnt have proper UV protection.
The seat was in good condition. I like how I was able to take the seat apart for cleaning, so I washed the thing with mild soap water and squeezed the seat supports dry.
Here’s the seat installed:
My old Sparcos are bit clunky already and I’m not that fond of the red color.
Found out that the seat rail pattern was slightly different between Sparcos and Bride and I had to somehow correct the difference. The Sparco pattern was 345 x 271mm while Bride uses 290 x 330mm for the bottom mount MO-type seats.
Not 100% sure about this, but Momo, Sparco and OMP should be using 345 x 271mm, while Recaro, Bride and Cobra use 290 x 330mm.
I bought some 50mm x 4mm aluminium bars and made some highly technical drawings inPowerPoint OpenOffice. CAD is overrated anyways \;)
There are five adjustment holes to move the seat slightly forward or backward because I was too lazy to measure the exact position difference of the mounting holes.
Countersunk of course. The freshly drilled hole is still bit rough here.(Edit: this was one of my test drills hence the roughness)
Did I do something funny here? Cant remember anymore 🙂
Now I need to get a second one just to have a matching pair.
