I need aftermarket brackets and sliders for an aftermarket seat. Preferably both driver and passenger.
For a 1992 Celica.
Looking at Sparco, Recaro, Bride, etc seats.
Also willing to take seat suggestions. Need to be comfy enough to drive a few hours in, but also keep my skinny ass in place. Oh, and light-ish is good. The seats in the Celica now weigh a TON. Would prefer reclineables.
The brackets and sliders seem to be made of unobtanium.
Anyone know where to go? Have a secret source?
i have a slider bracket for a Corbeau laying here in the office, you can have it and rig it anyway you want. Its made to fit a Mk4 VW though, those seat slider layouts are weird...
They are easy to make if you start with cheap sliders off ebay. If its a racecar it probably won't pass tech unless you fixed-mount them though. They don't care for sliders much.

Plus some scrap steel and a welder.
Kirkey seat, attach to stock sliders, soup.

That would make my life a lot easier. BUT: The stock sliders are attached and integrated into the stock seats. As in... welded.

You can't cut the welds? Or will that make the sliders useless?

Find a pair of roached stock seats. remove the slider section "manually" by cutting the entire seat frame from the lower portion of the seat. Modify the cut section to fit.

That'll make the sliders useless. Probably fixable, but it's probably worth mentioning at this point that i can't weld, and my fabrication skills are laughable.
Case in point: I'm having multiple aneurysms just in piecing together an intercooler piping setup.
I'm really either 1) looking for a bolt in and go application, (i KNOW they exist, what with the AllTrac and that jazz, and i'll pay for them) or if that won't work out 2) looking for someone/a company that i can pay to just make me a bolt in and go application.
That's how I did the MR2. I cut the sliders off the stock seat, bolted it to the floor, tacked a cross piece , took out, welded cross piece, mounted Kirkey seat. Worked just fine, including surviving the -ahh- mishap that totaled the car.

They have a listing for your car, and if you choose a seat they don't have a ready-made solution, they can custom fab something for you.

Ah hah! That's the company i was looking for, just couldn't get the name right. I was thinking "Wedge Racing."
I only came here because I thought your thread title was spot on. 
Now, what was the question?
I just get sick of the "Keep your seats!!! You've already got the AllTrac adjustable lumbar seats!! They're teh bestzorz!!"
Yeah. And they weigh as much as i do.
