I ended up making my own slider/mounts from the stockers and just cutting/drilling/welding them till they fit.

go to a muffler shop, or a machinist and get them to re-work your stock sliders. do NOT try and ghetto this. if you get in a accident you want those seats to hold.

FC rails do fit into the FB, but depending on the year combinations, some slight modifications to hole locations may be required. Hopefully, whatever you do doesn't raise the new seats too high.

You can quite easily use FD seats with FB rails, that's what I'm running. Just takes a bit of skill with a welder.
