use your current seatpans and rails on the newer seats, this is from the FAQ thread sticky-ed on top of this forum:

not that easy i swapped out the pans and the 4g seat is like 2 inches less wide than the 5g seat so on the side of the seatbelt you have to weld a lil bracket on the far sid eof the pan and need to knock out the 4g peice or even cut it out and reweld it on the outer edge to mount the outher side of the top half
