I have recently bought some Evo IV Recaro seats (same as the Speed/ITR seats)

Im having trouble fabricating a base to mount the seat to, then the runners to. i can see what needs to be done, but on the inside rail (closest to centre of car) there isnt enough room, and you cant get a bolt in to bolt the rails/base to the seat itself

has anyone else fitted Recaro's to there 4G civic? if so, have you got some pics of your rail brackets please

this is doing my head in!
remember CRX arent the same as 4G civic, which is a shame, as CRX ones would be easier to sort out i think

ive also looked for Recaro rails, but can only find them for the CRX, and they are $200 a side!!!


any help appreciated.

thanks

i have wedg eng. bases and sparco slider

 

im in the UK, so dont fancy getting parts shipped over. will cost loads in import duty!

 

Don't understand thsi part:
you cant get a bolt in to bolt the rails/base to the seat itself


Maybe you should take pictures?

 

i mean, where the rail attaches to the frame im making, when thats in place, there is no gap/space to get a bolt through to fix into the original bolt holes on the bottom of the seat

ill get some pics in a minute

 

my old man decided to take the wooden template frame apart ffs!!!

the green areas are where the front two bolts of the seat need to bolt to, but as you can see on the inside, the runner is in the way, so no way of fixed it to the seat (when its made out of metal)
the purple area is where the seat can be slide to, but still no room. i cant slide it anymore over to the door, as the door will squash the seat.



the green dots are where the OEM seat mounts to the runners... (roughly)


hope that makes sense lol

its properly really simple, but ive been staring at it far too long, and its stressing me out
