Got the seats mounted yesterday. I mounted them in a fixed position using the side-mount brackets. I could do it again in about an hour or two, but I spent more like 8 hours because I tried so many variations. The problem is that the bracket mount points are narrower than the mounting points on the car. I finally just drilled a couple new holes into the brackets and bolted them to the stock mounts in the car. I can still swap them out with my stock seats, but it will take a little time. Using the stock sliders would be ideal, but would probably require some cutting / modification of the brackets to accommodate the hinge mechanism on the slider arm. I'm 5' 10" so would have just enough head room with the sliders and a helmet.

Thanks again to everyone for your help.
