Racing buckets

Has anyone put plastic racing buckets in their square? I have a pair of Jaz seats that I bought and I'm trying to put them in. Any of pics or ideas?

Re: Racing buckets

No clue about mounting them, but I'll never sit in a non-adjustable seat again in my life. Those plastic buckets are ungodly uncomfortable. I used one for a dirt car and 20 laps I was done.

Re: Racing buckets

Are you doing it for weight savings?

Re: Racing buckets

Yes its for weight savings. This is a street/strip toy. The seats to me actually aren't too bad.

Re: Racing buckets

They'll be hell on the street, not so bad 11-12 seconds at a time. Not all roads are as smooth as a track or pit road. Just an opinion.

What's your 60' time? That's a nice time for the mph. I ran a 12.4 @ 118. 2.56 60' lol
One and only time down a track in '00

Re: Racing buckets

Gee, I don't know. I find them comfortable enough to put one in my office



I did put a sheet of 1-1/2" upolstery foam under the cover (seat and back) and I can stay strapped in in front of the puter working for hours.

LOL seriously After back surgery #3 and fusion of 2 levels the side support in my hips and lower back was a blessing.

Re: Racing buckets

I dont have a square body , but i have the Jaz aluminum seat . I bought 2 or 2.5" angle aluminum and fabbed brackets for mine . I drilled holes and made them adjustable . The back of mine bolts to the roll bar .

Re: Racing buckets

I'm missing too many spine discs for those things. I like the "full size" race seats. I also have a wide a$$ so the narrow buts on the pre-form seats kill me.
