[souperman]

do you need engineers cert to change seats to recaros? (on an ek1)?

also, where do i buy bolts to bolt the recaros to the rails. i'm missing some.
thanks in advance

you can get bolts from your local bunnings or hardware store.

thats where i got mine from a while ago. about $4-6 for a pack of 10.

i wouldn't worrry about engineers, i doubt you will get picked up anyways, i had them in my em1 for a yr no troubles

[souperman]

since u got a em1 did u need ek9 rails? since em1 is likey same as ek1

which rails did u use and where did u source them mate

cheers MikeyG

[souperman]

yeh. u need ek9 rails to put recaros in an EK or EM.
traders sections.
or if you're lucky, there'll be a guy selling them on the parts for sale section (and you can save $$$)

[turbo convert]

if ek9 rails u could have used existing bolts unless u had lost them =)

also u mite want to try and get bolts with a special head rather than the conventional hexagonal bolts.. that way noone can break into ur car and steal ur seats cuz they wont be able to unscrew them ;)

I think saying "no-one" is exaggerated. You might be able to buy a few more minutes more likely. Don't you think if they wanted to break into a car with the purpose of stealing seats in mind they would have the tools readily available to deal with the unconventional bolt from Bunnings? After all, they're going to want to remove the seats via the doors and then load them up in a vehicle which suggest the possibility of access to more thieving apparatus. It's not like they're going to just pull the seats out from the windows and then jog off with them? Of course, I stand corrected.

most likely get eng cert as they don't come standard on the car. to be on the safe side.
