It might sound dense, but what exactly is the difference between normal bucket seats and side-mounted ones?

yep, like Cobra Imola's are side-mounted and I also know that Clarky PJ's seats are side-mounted in his RS2K from reading his feature in PF

looking at the Imolas, i can see what i spose must be the mounting points, but dunno exactly how you'd mount em or how they'd fit etc X(

these are the parts for sidemount chairs they bolt directly to the chair and to the floor. If you look carefully at the sidemount chairs they have two bolts either side of the chair instead of underneath. :thumb: It is possible to make sidemount chairs into sliding chairs but i aint got a clue X(

Side mount are a pig to fit ,as there is alot of modding to be done to make them fit the flor pan, for race cars really, very little adjustment and you sit low .

does it seriously restrict side visibility etc?

by the sounds of this side-mounting caper, I think the safest option for fixed back Cobras for the road will be my original choise of Monacos. Frames look preferable, but there's still plenty of time for me to change my mind ;)
