Hi guys,

I have a Recaro TS-G fixed seat, planning to chuck it in my ek soon.
Problem is where can i get rails to suit them into an EK chassis? Have browsed around yahoo japan etc and didn't have much luck

Cheers Ozhonda

Are they bottom or side mounted seats? If theyre bottom then use ek9/vision lows etc. If side mounted then you can use buddyclub rails etc.
I had someone try to sell me a driver side bc rail for 100. Idk if he still has it but if you want his details pm me!

You could use recaro rails or bride, try jdmyard or jdmconcept.

Best to measure the base of your seat, how wide it is from the left side mount bolt hole to the right
Once you have measurements, just email the sellers and ask for dimensions.

U should be able to use something like those bride fg's and modify the 4 L brackets to sit wider, closer, tho they should be slightly adjustable

Not a 100% sure. As everyone else stated get your measurements first.

AFAIK semi-bucket = bottom rail. fixed bucket = side rails. so your ts-g will have to use aftermarket ones not ek9.

All good. Bought buddyclub super low rails for a good price, fits good just need to find bolts to bolt the side brackets to the seat.

Anyone know which bolt it is?

if the seats are high on the sides then its likely.
also depends on the rail, if the rails is one of those ones there the base is independant from sliders it means that the bolt to attach the seatbelt buckle might go on the actual base so it wont move with the chair (when going forward or backward)

need pics of the rails to really be sure.

but i remember my fixed back bucket seats being high sided and the seatbelt didnt fit properly because i wasnt fat enough so be large then the sides meaning the belt kind of went from one side of the chair to meet the other (without touching my gut in between).
if the seatbelt bracket is short thought and the buckets have holes for a 4 point/5point mount u could probably throw the latch thorugh that hole to get to the buckle
