[Mk2] [Generic] Recaro seats into a mk2, rails?

Post by Gaz! »

Hello, can anyone shed any light on this?

I have a pair of Recaro speed seats that im very longing to put in my 2. However I dont have the rails.

I have contacted Mr NightSpirit to try and get hold of a genuine set from the mother land, he is unable to help.

Ive chopped up a pair of seats and ground the rails off, but I think fabbing up the runners to fit the seats would be alot of work.

A member on here has offered me a set of Bride T0 rails, im in the belief that these rails can be slightly modded to fit.

If so how? Has anyone done this? What needs doing? Are the T0 rails the right ones?

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

I brought recaro rails from demon thieves. Easy to fit to mk2 runners.

Call www.recaro-seats.co.uk and order a set of "generic rails". The difference between genuine Bride/Recaro ones and the generic ones is about £5 of metal loosely taked on and not worth the money (trust me, been there, got the t'shirt). [generics are about £50 and SW20 specific imports from Bride are over £100]

If you remove the mounting points from your original seats and mount them on these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNIVERSAL-RAC ... 3a6858ce96 this link will give you the idea http://www.mr2oc.co.uk/know-your-2/mk1/ ... a-mk1.html

Ah nice, do you have a part number by any chance? I phoned the company but they were unsure as they had more than one type of genaric rail.
