Default Seat rails Bride rails w/ Recaro seats??

Ok i will try and explain as much as i can. All info provided in this thread to me will be of great service, im so stumped right now. I have a 95 accord...ive got the wedge engineering brackets already.

Brackets:






-->From what i am told this is the older version of the seat brackets..they DO fit recaros and such. I know there is a more updated version but yeah this is what i got as brackets.

Seats:


Bottom of the seatsclick links because they are high res for better viewing)

now i check on brides website and they have these two types of rails that pertain to my kind of seat:



now the thing is..when i check on price listings( http://www.tees-usa.com/price_list.html ) it shows the RO rails as:
"TYPE-RO NEW RECLINING/PROS/GIAS "
Judging by the names Pros and Gias im taking it for sure those are bride seats...but can i still use those rails on my brackets? Im taking it for sure my seats are Type-RO's...and as i look further down on their website i see Adapters and i found this "A14NPO OFFSET ADAPTOR(FOR TYPE-RO RAIL)"

in all honesty...im stumped i dont know what to do and...honestly i really dont know what else to type on this. This is uncharted territory for me...first time i ever bought seats. I have heard that there are machinists and what not who CAN take your old seat rails and put them on these recaro seats...but yeah.

looks like the wedge bases that you have are for BUCKET seats, not the Reclinables.

thinking the same...i have the wedge bases at a machine shop and seeing what kind of modifications can be done...picked both up for 110 shipped so i cant complain about buying them from wedge and being wrong. What ill end up doing is probably getting a bracket put on the base euro r rails and get them weldged to that bracket which will be put on the wedge base

The bracket you have are for height adjustable sliders. They were used by old recaro SRD's, lower end Sparcos and Corbeaus. The sliders has a tap at the front and back edge that are bent down to bolt into the rods on the brackets.
Here's a example of what i'm talking about.

These may or may not work for your application. Start by measuring the horizontal distance (left&lt;&gt;right) between the seat bolts and compare them to the horizontal distance between the rods.

firebert yep...im thinking the same exact thing...i just got off the phone with wedge and what they told me is that at the end of each side in those "tubes" is a threaded hole so im taking it they are for different kinds....

Yea I'm not a hugh fan of that design.. even when set at the lowest position you end up sitting quite high.. plus there is no guarentee that the sliders I showed you would work without exact measurements.

Check out memoryfab's rails also, they might end up being cheaper than Bride's and works just as well.

my seats underneath(where they mount to) have more than just 1 hole on the entire deal...it has about 5 holes...im guessing the way those are designed it really doesnt matter..one mounts to the front and one mounts to the back

looking at your pictures (I assume the sliders were removed) theses are the bolts that are used to bolt the seats up to your sliders (ones the arrows are pointing to). You need to measure the distance between the red arrows and the blue arrows to know for sure if you can use the rails or which rail you need.
