I have purchased buddy club rails from 2 differernt company and both company have given my money back due to recall (fitment issus)...i also purchase a bride ef8 seat rails also and its not even close of fitting. so i did try to search but most thread are dead back from 2004. So I'm trying to see if anyone might have a DIY mod of oem rails to match with bucket seats..i have a 91 crx. any help or suggestion is appreciate it. thank you

 

What seats do you have. You only talked about the rails we need to know the seat

 

i have bride low max bucket side mounted seat.

 

all JDM EF8/EF9 seat rails are the same as USDM 88-89 civic/crx rails. the 90-91s are different

 

im sorry the bride brackets i have are ef9...but still doesnt fit in my 88 CRX...here i have some pics to show.




Here i have the front left hole line up to see how the rest line up. This goes for both the 88 and 91 CRX I have.

This one is in my 88 CRX




This one is in my 91 CRX

 

It looks very easy to make them work. Where the bracket meets sheet metal, you need to add a bolt. I would make a nut plate and weld that into a hole.


Where the bracket meets nothing, you need to cut, move the tab and weld.

 

thats what i plan to do, but I want to make this happen into my 91 crx but if you look at the left bottom bolt hole..its very very far away from the hole and bracket.

 

I just finished mounting a Sparco bucket seat into my hatch. I made my own rails out of 1/8'' and 1/4'' steel. Take some measurements, do some bending, have it welded.
