im in the process of swapping over some 3rd gen seats and when i took the 'dummy' rail off of the factory seats it kinda came apart i just need to know how those wierd looking tin things and roller go that's all i need for the pass seat, yes im using factory 1st gen rails on 3rd gen seats and yes i will post pics since there arent any on this site, all as soon as i finish i just need to see how im going to do the drivers since i havent pulled it out yet

 

nobody?

 

I have no clue what you mean by "Dummy Rail" mind snapping a picture or two?

Also there used to be a few threads on this swap with pictures, one person even went ahead and installed RX8 seats in his first gen.

 

my 1980 has R1 FD chairs, driver and passenger rails had to be fabricated cause factory rails dont match at all.

 

3rd gen seats do not bolt right in. only FC seats bolt in all others need some sort of fabrication.

 

what i mean by dummy rail is the rail that doesnt have the arm to adjust the seat foreward or backward, and yes i am very well aware at this point that 3rd gen seats dont bolt in i've already made the brackets nessecary, seat is already in 90% of the way as far as the pass seat is concerned, and i did use the factory seat rail on the right part of the pass seat and used the factory holes for the right part fits fine without conflicting the door panel
