I have Sparco Sprints, really light and cheap, there is even a newer model of the sprint series that looks even cooler than the old like mine.
as a rail I use the modified original seat rail with 2 welded iron bars for the bolts (+-450mm gap or so).

the sparco sprint is tubular if im not wrong.. i'd be looking at entry frp/kevlar models..

Sparco Rev
Corbeau Sprint
Cobra Monza
... (omp-wierd position i think, recaro-expensive imo, momo-ugly imo)

The corbeau sprint is the cheapest i think in taht range. But my friend just bought a Cobra seat and its really good! So i'd opt for cobras.

I also have sparco sprint (the new model), they are quite cheap, fia approved and still very comfy. They are both bottom and side mount. I used the Driftworks superlow seatframe so it sits very low and it's still adjustable.

Getting the seat low enough will be the challenge, can you try a DW one fitted to a car ?
Battery boxes can be bought from rally design:

i dont think you have a auto zone (a local car parts place) in UK its just a $13 US and $18 cable... im actually switching to a metal using a small civic battery dry cell to save weight.
