Hi there
Just wondering
will this sparco seat will fit on my NA8 with just screwing two more holes on stock rails?

or do I have to custom the rails?
Cheers
Oscar

Would help to list your location. The install isn't that difficult if you know how to use a drill. You could attempt it yourself.

I did it myself and I don't know how to use a drill. The NA ones are easy. With the NB some grinding is required.

its pretty simple to install:
flip the sparco seat upside down and measure the holes vertically under the seat
it should measure up to 270mm
unbolt your seat from the rails, measure 270mm and drill a hole in the rails for both sides
(you can reuse the bolts taken off from the stock seat for the sparco seat)
All you need is a high impact drill + some muscles
it takes about 20mins

Dril was getting hot, cool down time for the drill had also been taken into account

When broady and I did my one it tool us a while longed than that. Mind you it was an NB rail so grinding was part of the job. We did fry a Dremel as well.
