EK9 rails and SR3 seats

[EK1.6LCIV]

ok, I have in front of me 2nd hand ek9 rails, the have no bolts for floor pan mounting or seat to rail mounting

what I need to know is how many bolts go to the seat to rail, its 6 a side hey?

and if I can reuse the oem EJ8 seat belt on the driverside on the EK9 railing

PQ points will be left for responses of knowledge :D

[LiKPiC]

correct me if i'm wrong, but this is from my experience

rails to floor: you can use the same bolts from that bolted your old rails to the floor
seat to rails: 6 bolts for each seat. Mine had 2 missing so i went out and bought them, they were Alloy socket head cap screws M6 x 15mm. you can get them from any hardward store.

[LiKPiC]

i dont know about the seat belt and i'm a littel confused about what you mean...are you asking whether you can reuse the oem buckle?

cause i dont konw the answer. sorry

did the rails not come with buckles?

[finalazy]

you can reuse the buckle its just one bolt and it bolts on to the side of the rail like your ej8 rails.

[EK1.6LCIV]

from what I saw last night I can reuse the 4 floor bolts per seat from the EJ8, which is good as those arent cheap to replace

Im going to have a go reusing the oem buckle as I can see it being handy for the buckle up light to function properly, Honda couldnt confirm if it was the same size bolt due to US part numbers versus Jap numbers on the DC2R (didnt have an EK9 vin to use, lol)

good news is they still stock all the parts to rebuild them if ever need be, lol :D

thanks again all, will let ya know how I go tonight, I plan on working on them when I get back :D

PQ points left for all responses :D

ryan if your rails didnt come with belt buckles, you can use the ones from ur ej.
do you really have a choice?

[EK1.6LCIV]

I do have a choice, the first choice is to use the driver buckle or if it doesnt fit, spend money to buy a new teg one c/w sensor ($177 ex Japan)

[CRXDEL501]

this is true. if it fits, then no point :D

[ekdez]

when i installed my seats with rails into my ek,

it just 4 bolts to the floor plan. one for each corner.

and four bolts to the seat. on on each corner.

and one bolt for the seatbelt buckle.


> you attach the seat first to the rails by flipping your seat upside down and screwing the bolts in, then attach the seatbelt clip on the side.

then you line the rails up evenly before you attempt to screw all the bolts into your floor.

have a go at it.. trial and error is your best friend.

-4 bolts to the floor is re-useable
-seat belt buckle is re-useable as well
- did you get the little bolts with the rails to install them to seat, I'm referring to the 6 little one on each side?

[finalazy]

like i said you can reuse

but if you want one with a sensor you can pick one up from the wreckers, thats what i did got it for about 35 bucks

cheers for the advice

Ive got the sensor from the EJ8, Im thinking it should be ok :D (touch wood)

[EK1.6LCIV]

[CRXDEL501]

not sure the diff in rails, they'll need the 3 mounting points a side to work

otherwise they sell 2nd hand ones from time to time (my option as I find the $395ea a bit steep lol)

I would buy them if I had a yellow car :D

[CRXDEL501]

your too excited. you wont be tired haha.
they will go in sweetly.

[EK1.6LCIV]

I'll be up til prob 3-4am working on a few things during the night including a bbq up north

[tayl51601]

Yea i tried to have a look quickly when i got home last night if the stock rails had 3 a side.....
Kind of hard to see with the seat still on lol

$395 is a bit stupid, thats exactly half of what i paid for my seat including courier from melbourne lol
Ill give the stock rails a go first then ill go from there.......

Good luck with yours! Will they be in before the monday cruise? If your going

[EK1.6LCIV]

mate theyll be in before 10pm 2ntye, basically removing four a side on the stock seats, ripping those pricks out, bagging them up.

Then mount rails to seat and align into the car :D

I'll be there forsure :D

[tayl51601]

lol sweet, bet your counting down the hours till you get started!

I hope i get mine in tonight! Fingers crossed..........

[LiKPiC]

oops. didnt realise they were M6 x 16mm
thanks

They will take like 1 hour including vacuuming.
Simple swap.

[EK1.6LCIV]

have to inspect the mechanism on the passenger side rail, seems stiff so prob estimating finish at 11pm (thank goodness I can get coffee at that time :D)

[AndreaCivic]

$2500 is ok.. except yellow is gross!

i found this catalogue while browsing a while ago..

http://www.idealseat.com.au/documents/AM_catalog2008_01.pdf

they have sr-111 which im guessing is sr3? (page 12)

anyway, they have nice colours so maybe should check them out too..

P.s. requesting pics when done :D

Reviving an old thread thx to the search function

- anyone happen to know the Part# for these bolts -- they're the bolts that bolt the rails to the recaros
