Ive got a lovely set of ford recaros. How can i get them to fit in my e30.
Do the sports seats have different runners to comforst seats??
As ford recaros have 4 bolt holes (1 in each corner) would sport runners work? or do i have to make something up?
Has any1 else done this or have a photo of the end result
Thanks for any help

Had a set of these, couldn't be bothered to fit them in the end...the rails are very different and you need a seatbelt buckle thingy IIRC
I mocked one in and didn't like the fabric with the rest of the car...are you planning on a retrim?

I have a grey costworth pair... they match quite well... so no retrim.....
Any1 got a pair of e30 runners near romford they dont want for me to cut up

Cosworth seats are lower so would be ideal plus they have a metal base unlike rs turbo seats.
Use e30 base with angle iron as thats what i did with rs seats but the sat to high so switched back.
you got any pics of the seats? and how different are they from the backs?
you got a 2door as cossie ones dont flip unless escort or sierra?
