Pretty much any seats you like will fit though by modifying/swapping the rails!

There are some great bargains on eBay - I got these, which are quite similar to SE seats at a fraction of the cost:

Excellent. Have some out of an SW20 to go in - what frames did you use? I understand you can get Bride rails for the AW11.

If they were fitted to a sw20 all you have to do is drill the spot welds out of the mounting brackets on both seats and simply bolt the mk1 brackets to the sw20 seats. There is a link on here somewhere

That would be great, but unfortunately the SW20 rails are gone. The person I bought them off was using the seats in a civic.

I also have a pair of SSRG seats with the rails, and I did wonder if the process could be as simple as you've suggested for these rails.

Yeah this is pretty similar to what I had to do to fit the Recaros in mine. Drill all the welds off the factory seat brackets till i was left with just the runners. Measure them up against the new seats and bolt the mr2 runners to the base of the Recaros.

All you need is a drill, a pile of spare bolts and washers, a measuring tape and some patience.
