Next Level Racing® Universal Seat Brackets
Heavy-Duty Side-Mount Seat Brackets for Racing Cockpits Next Level Racing® Universal Seat Brackets The Next Level Racing® Universal Seat Brackets provide a rigid, highly adjustable interface for installing compatible side-mount racing seats on GTtrack, F-GT, Elite Series, and suitable third-party aluminum-profile cockpits. Built from 5 mm carbon steel, the brackets offer 84 adjustment positions for seat height, angle, tilt, width, and driving-position refinement. 5 mm Carbon Steel 84 Adjustment Positions Side-Mount Seat Compatible F-GT Crossbars Included i ProSimHQ Expert Insight Best for Fixed-Back Side-Mount Racing Seats These brackets are designed for bucket-style racing seats with side-mount holes. They are not the same as bottom-mount sliders or reclining-seat rails, so the seat’s mounting style should be confirmed before ordering. We recommend them when the goal is to fine-tune seat rake, height, and width while maintaining a rigid connection between the seat and cockpit. What we like most: The wide adjustment range makes these useful for both GT and more reclined seating positions, while the included F-GT crossbars expand compatibility beyond profile-only installations. 84 Seat-Mounting Positions The bracket system provides 84 adjustment combinations for refining seat angle, height, width, and alignment. Seat Height Adjustment Raises or lowers the seat relative to the wheel and pedal deck. Seat Rake Adjustment Changes the recline angle for GT, endurance, or more aggressive positions. Width Adjustment Allows the brackets to accommodate wider compatible side-mount seats. 5 mm Carbon-Steel Construction The brackets are manufactured from 5 mm carbon steel to support high-force sim racing and reduce unwanted movement between the seat and cockpit. High-Load Rigidity Supports aggressive braking and high-torque direct-drive setups. Durable Black Finish Matches the appearance of current Next Level Racing cockpit hardware. Side-Mount Seat Compatibility The bracket slots are intended for compatible side-mount racing seats from Next Level Racing and other manufacturers. Next Level Racing ES1 The ES1 Elite Sim Racing Seat is the manufacturer-recommended pairing. Third-Party Bucket Seats Supports many aftermarket side-mount seats after measurement verification. Seat-mounting note: Bottom-mount reclining seats generally require different brackets or sliders. Verify the seat’s side-mount hole pattern, shell width, and hardware requirements. Next Level Racing Cockpit Compatibility Next Level Racing lists compatibility with several cockpit families. GTtrack Cockpit Supports compatible side-mount racing-seat installation. F-GT Cockpit Uses the included compatibility crossbars. Elite Series Cockpits Compatible with supported aluminum-profile Elite cockpit models. GTSeat Add-On Listed by NLR as a compatible cockpit platform. Third-Party Aluminum-Profile Compatibility The base slots allow installation on many compatible third-party “8020” or T-slot aluminum-profile cockpits. Confirm profile width, slot geometry, mounting-hole spacing, seat width, slider requirements, and available hardware before installation. Included F-GT Crossbars Two crossbars are included specifically to support installation on the Next Level Racing F-GT Cockpit. F-GT Frame Interface Creates the required mounting surface for the side brackets. Complete Hardware Package Includes the required mounting and assembly hardware. Who Are These Brackets Best For?
