It came with sliders and the description says

These sliders will fit any existing or aftermarket seat floor mounting bracket with 13-5/8" wide bolt hole to bolt hole but may require some bracket modifications and/or drlling. If vehicle does not have exisiting seat bracket, a floor mounted bracket will have to be fabricated.

it tells you that you will need to modify the bracket.

the seat bottom looks too thick anyways. your knees will be touching the steering wheel.

The company below will have brackets for that seat. But it looks like you will LOSE some headroom with that setup, hope that is not an issue.

be careful... if the harness does not have the proper set up, you'll end up making your seat/harness into a spinal compressor. If you get into a wreck you could suffer serious back damage. Sometimes a regular seatbelt is better than a "race harness".
