Beastmode panda Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Wuddup. Serious thread here! So, say if you bought some rs turbo seats with rails.. And the plan was to cut the mounts off the old glanza rails and weld them to the rs rails... And then you went to fit one seat and found out that infact the rs rails are a hell of a lot skinnier width ways than the glanza ones meaning that there is about a 3" gap on one side to the mounting hole............ Lol, is what you're thinking. Well yeah, that happened to me today (hehe). Soooo now i have 1 glanza rail that is fucked, written off and not useable haha and the rs rail obv doesn't fit. Just wanted to know, what would you do? Would you make some bars that go accross from hole to hole then bolt the seat to said bars? I'm not really cut out for this fabrication lark. Give me a gun or a kxf250 and i'll show you how to jump a 120ft table top. But i'm pretty wack when it comes to measurements etc. Really need some help lol.. PEACE.

Beastmode panda Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Edit - No i'm not taking it to a garage or to get custom ones made up nor am i ordering anything off the internet. Don't bother suggesting it or i'll just post up a meme suitable. Fucking hate useing garages and shit, they are a rip off and i prefer to do stuff my self. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amjad Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Should have just bought my seats I think people generally use some metal bars that bolt to the seat, and then weld feet to the bars Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amjad Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'm sure someone will have some pics, there may have been some in the RWD section. I'd post some of my Evo's but they won't be done for a month or two! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 When I fit charls recaros from an evo 4 they pretty much bolted in.

S**T sorry miss read your post im using bucket seats with fixed side mounts. I will post some pics up tmz if you still want em? I looked into seat rails and it was to much hassle getting the right height and keeping seat straight with original floor mounts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
