Recaro's on mr2 rails

Post by Lefty1991 »

Does anyone have a picture of an Evo 8 or similar on mr2 modified rails?
I'm trying to make mine fit but having some trouble

I've got evo iv recaros on standard mr2 rails.

Your need to look at my.project thread for photos.

While the mr2 rails was still on the mr2 seats,I welded a bar across the 2 separate rails then unbolted from mr2 seat so the spacing stayed the same.

Then i just offered them up to the recaro seats and drilled.holes where they was needed and bolted them to the recaros .

I then removed the temp bar I welded on and also welded the seat mechanism so the handle was pointing away from the seat.
