I have another option I'm currently looking into, there is a guy in the states that makes custom brackets to fit recaro seats to IS200's. Should be a lot cheaper, but you will still need the recaro sliders.
I think Stav has just modified his standard rails with some nifty welding.

The brides are the way forward but hard to find.

28-03-2019, 09:26 AM #7Stav - if you want to get rid of your welded mounts, I've got a set of recaros I need to fit in to my car and I do not want a super low rail. As long as they work ok
When I'm back home Tuesday i can take pics of the brides if you want to copy them?

How hard would it be to get a set replicated by a fabricator?

28-03-2019, 11:19 AM #9I had some bride basemount rails but could not for the life of me get the recaros to fit, sold them on in the end. They had "SO" written on them, which as far as I know is not actually a mount made by bride (at least not any more).

Universal sliders aren't too much,2 flat bar strengtheners across the bottom and 4 little mounting pieces, they would need to be bent to suit, though I could copy the angle of them with some card?
