drift_bear Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Who was it that done a write up about modifying the bride RO seat rails to work with recaros? I need to modify mine when the interior comes out this week for fitting the cage. What is it that needs to actually be cut and any pics?

j_jza80 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Me The pics will be in the depths of my build thread, but it's an easy enough job to do anyway. If you picture the runners, one on each side of each seat, running front to back. Connecting those are two metal bars. The rear bar clashes with the moulded bucket in the bottom of some Recaro seats (Trendline etc), so this bar needs cutting out. The seats are ridgid, and with the one remaining bar there are totally solid when bolted up. Quite unnerving to do it in new rails, but it's an easy job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for that, it's the treadlines I have and I just made some little spacers to clear the bar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spacers are fine also, but I didn't want to raise the height of my seat the buckets on mine actually press into the carpet, so they're mounted as low as is physically possible, and I find the driving position perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few other jobs to do this week on the interior so will get all that done at the same time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
