russ78 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 managed to get hold of a perfect condition set of recaros out of a RS turbo is it a case of hacking and welding the rail to make it fit or can I unbolt my stock rails and swap over ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

russ78 Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) I done this many years ago!I Just cut the feet off the glanza rails and drilled and bolted the feet on the Rs rails! thats kinda what I was hoping for, were these out of a rs turbo ? as my recaros have red stitching not grey and they have the horizontal stiching through the middle ?

ryan lang Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 mine sits straight now with a fabbed up rail, unlike it did on the bride rail i had in my old one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Did it have adapter plates on the bride rail? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Ryan how did you fabricate the rail? (What did you use)My Recaros are gonne be a pain to modify with the existing Evo rails so Grant suggested buying some universal or better, Recaro rails. I'd rather buy Recaro rails but don't want them sitting wonky! Sounds a bit hit and miss with what people have experienced? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 yeah was a full bride rail. base and sliders etc. it wasnt noticable sat in it, but looking at it from the back your could see it slightlyurmm ive just use the feet and sliders from the oem rail. cut the parts that bolt to the seat off, then bolted the rail back in the car, measured out the bolt holes in the bottom of the seat and welded 2 flat bars across the rails, drilled holes, welded them to the sliders and bolted the seat on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 What a pain! It's putting me off buying Recaro rails now! I need to fit mine asap Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 haha it was time consuming because i didnt want to mess it up, but its not complicated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
