C5 Corvette AMT Motorsport Ultra Low Seat Mount (1997-2004)

AMT Motorsport Ultralow Seat Mount for Side Mount Racing Seats in the C5 Corvette

The AMT Motorsport Ultra Low Seat Mount is a C5-specific seat mounting solution for installing a side mount racing seat in a 1997–2004 C5 Corvette. It’s built for street-performance builds, track-day cars, and competition setups where lowering the seating position helps with helmet clearance and a more stable fixed driving position.

This mount is designed to bolt into the C5 using the factory seat stud locations with included studs and hardware, and it is intended for fixed side mount racing seat installs rather than factory seat frames. Fitment depends on your seat shell width and side bracket geometry, and this mount is not compatible with factory stock seats. AMT Part Number: 265002.

What to Expect After Installation

After installing the mount with a compatible side mount racing seat and side brackets, expect a lower seating position and a more secure fixed-mount feel. Final seat height and position depend on your seat shell, side bracket geometry, and mounting adjustments. If you choose the optional sub belt bar configuration, it adds an integrated cross bar designed to accept 5- and 6-point sub belts (eye bolts included with the sub bar option).
