I do know FC seats will fit in the FB, but I'm not sure which rail sets were used. The inside passenger rail is different due to the hump for the cats, but it looks similiar in both bodies.

make your own rails from the stock seats. Its way cheaper and you can make it to your own height.

I just had a friend piece together an adapter plate under the bride seat to match up with the stock rails. really not that hard. took him only an hour.

he's right they do but they cost a lot. I think the bride rails for my seat were somewhere $290 for one side.

wow, that's like 6 tanks of gas...lol.

fbsliderseven, how much you want for a set of fb seat rails? i just need the driver right rail, if you want to sell it alone, if not, i don't mind getting a whole set.
