The Next Level Racing Universal Seat Brackets let you mount your own side-mount seat on a compatible cockpit, so you can choose the seat you want to spend long flights in. Next Level Racing designs them for its GTtrack, F-GT and Elite Series cockpits, and the slots in the bracket base also make them compatible with third-party 8020-style aluminum profile cockpits. They suit simmers who fly from one of these frames and want to swap in a full bucket seat or reuse a seat they already own, with the brackets acting as the solid link between seat and frame.
Each bracket is cut from 5 mm carbon steel, which gives a rigid mount that keeps the seat from shifting or flexing while you push on the pedals or hold a steady input on your controls. The design offers 84 adjustment options, so you can fine-tune the seat height and angle and settle into a comfortable, repeatable position for both short hops and long sessions. Because seated comfort and posture matter over hours in the cockpit, that range is useful for flight simmers. The slotted base also adjusts in width to accept wider side-mount seats.
The brackets work with most side-mount seats, including Next Level Racing‘s own, and the brand recommends its ES1 Elite Sim Racing Seat for the best fit. The kit comes with the brackets, mounting and assembly hardware, plus two crossbars used when installing on the F-GT cockpit. Next Level Racing provides digital assembly instructions and videos. The brackets measure 36 x 12.5 x 17 cm and the kit ships in one box. Please note these are the brackets only; the seat and the compatible cockpit are sold separately.
