Seat rail ideas

[75glnt]

Hey guys!

Wondering, what have we all done to mount aftermarket seats into our cars?

Also, how do universal seat rails work?

Cheers,
Mick

What car are you talking about?
What sort of seats?

With my old Monza seats I just used high grade steel flat bar to use the standard mounts on the runners and the stock holes on the seats.

I then bought my brides because they are the same width as standard.
Just drilled 2 holes in the runners as the length is 3 inches shorter.

Just like 77galantv6 wrote.
Some seats are pretty much a straight bolt in.
I have Recaros in my wagon, they have the same width in the bolt up pattern as the factory Galant seats. All I had to do was drill 4 extra holes in the factory seat slider rails (Recaros bolt up with 6 bolts not 4), I used the factory rear holes and drilled the fronts to suit.

Sorry guys.. It's for my l200 ute.

The seats are autotecnica seats. The ute bolt holes are a little wider than the galants.. By about 10mm

I did mine just like Dave, but I need new or change up my seat belts. Right side doesn't play well with the new seat.
