In motorsport sidemounted seats are usually bolted straight to the floor unless your taking part in some kind of endurance race where you have to change driver.

reason for mounting them to the floor is that you want to keep the weight and centre of gravity low and also it's less weight and in some cases you don't go to the trouble of having a kevlar seat molded to the shape of your arse because it's light to go and add 5 kilos a pair with subframes.

for just daily driving on the road though cobra clubmans mounted either some homemade frames or straight to the floor in the most comfortable position if it's just you who drives it.

Lol, i know fella... but he's not building a race car.

What i was saying is that for a road car, most people run sidemounts bolted to sliding subframes, its shed loads easier to live with.

yes i know that but i'm talking specifically for a mini they are useless for the practical stuff anyway and the only reason you'd have one/put bucket seats in one is because they are just like a race car. if you put sidemounts on seats then onto a frame then the floor the seat will be too high/could possibly hit the roof. harnesses will be difficult to fit because the seat will be to high for the angle of the harness if it's mounted on the lower rear seat belt mounts. if you set the seat in a comfortable position and your the only driver of the car why would you need to move it
