How to mount the bucket seat with its rails:

 

First of all you have to take two pieces of 35x35 dexion and make a simple holder for the seat's sliders.  Then you can place it in the cockpit and stabilize it with a few more dexion parts inside the cockpit. I had to place the seat several times on the sliders before I finish this to calculate the travel distances and the seat angle, but I made it right only in a few hours.  In the first picture you can see the standard bucket seat I used. Its not too expensive for the awesome sideways holding supports it provide.

   

I used many small pieces of dexion to secure it from free moving sideways or front to back or rotate from its place!!

   

In the picture below you can see the large diagonal placed dexion part beginning from the back of the PVC tubing and goes down to an extending piece of dexion to secure the seat from moving sideways. And the small diagonal pieces in he front prevent the rotation of the seat.

   

 

   

As you can see the seat is mounted only on the sliders. Not high in the back as described in the joyrider manual. You can see the lever that controls the position of the seat as you can do in real cars!

   

The third picture above shows a close up of the way I mounted the bank position feedback potentiometer inside the caster holding mechanism.

Below you can see how adjustable is the seat back and forward using the sliders. (Don't mind the wheel... its another story!)
