My mechanic friend has these seats ready to go in my car and is currently headscratching about how to sort the runners and generally fit them. If anyone can offer give him some guidance about how best to go about it, please PM me your mob no and I'll get him to give you a call!
Thanks
Chris.
Anyone fitted Carelli/Chartone seats to an E30?

The seat belt retainer and lower outer fixing are attached to the production seat. The ones you're interested in won't have these. Neither will the seat fixing spacing meet the mounting holes in the floor so you'll need adapter plates to bolt the seats to the car and to the the belt fittings.
I suggest that you firstly ask Chatone if their seat fittings are the same dimensions as Recaro or Sparco/OMP etc.
If the latter take a look at the adapter plates here

Ask whether they take the seat belt fixings.
It's probably easier to use these rather than making your own adapters.
You'll also need a set of sliders. These might be suitable

I suggest you speak with the above suppliers to check it all fits together.
Good luck!
