Default Need help with Bride seat install

Hey guys got brand new Bride Ergos for the Z and have been waiting for the brackets and sliders to come in from Z-1 Performance they finally come in and I make the appointment to have them installed, they strip my interior out and go to install the seats,

The brackets dont fit. They are Sparco bases which are for the 350z but the sliders are way to short, the bolt holes dont line up with anything.

Is there some modifaction that is needed, Any help would be great..

Thanks

I bought the seats and brackets brand new from a shop that had sold them to a customer that sold them to me and they shipped them to me this way. I also asked why they were sending me a Sparco bracket and they said that they will work with the bride seat, but they obviously dont...

my bad man, i think you took my advice wrong! sorry what i meant was, that bride is MUCH better quality than sparco! what good is an expencive seat if its held down by sh!tty brackets?? if you went ahead and got the brides, your definatly not being cheap!
