msupra1 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I'm interested in purchasing a set of recaro seats with rails, I'm not sure what car they were for but EVO or something like that. I'd like to purchase this set. I was wondering has anyone else had their OEM brackets modified in some sort of way to fit some non-OEM seats/rails ? If there is just a little bit of modified needed is a pretty straight forward? Guy selling the seats knows a place that can get it done for not too much.

_Shane_ Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 just have a set of mounts made up, thats what i did on my previous set of seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 This involves getting a piece of sheet aluminium, mounting the seat rails to those, then cut up an old set, and screw the feet to the four corners of the two sheets of alloy fixed under your car. Not a perfect setup, but does the job. This is how Shane's seats arrive and it does the job Just remember your need a seat belt point. As the OEM one is in the seat!

_Shane_ Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 As James said above, dont forget the seat belt point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msupra1 Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 I'm just trying to imagine how that would look and I cant', anyone possibly have any photo's of this work that's been done. So where the brackets originally are bolted to the car, those parts get cut off and new section's welded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra joe Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Chop the feet off oem and weld them on to some universal brackets lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
