I use standard cobra mounts for my cobra seat, (very similar?) and if you don't tighten the mounts to the seat too tight, you can align and bolt the mounts to the existing holes then tighten them all up.

Checked with various people who've been racing for years and they give it the thumbs up!

Welcome btw :D

Massive Brakes in Canada do a few E30-specific seat solutions - for Recaro seats too. I have a pair of his universal aluminium side mounts, fitted onto the E30 rails (http://www.massivebrakes.com/accessorie ... sidemounts). Very nice solution, but not the cheapest, once shipping etc is all considered.

These mounts are Recaro specific:

Auto Mac GB do some (search for them on google)

I would post the link but it's still filtered for some reason

Search for www.auto mac.co.uk but without the space
