i have some nice second gen seats i would like to fab into my ride. dont know where to start... any help appriciated.

I assume their going into a 1st gen. There's not really any fabrication required. Have you done a test fit?

good assumtion since were in the 1st gen forum.
i havent done a test fit but they dont look like they will just bolt right up.

3/4 bolts on the drivers side (usa) bolt right up. most of the time thats good enough. if you really gotta have it 100% you can put the fc seat on the fb seat tracks, i think that bolts on too, but i havent done it since 94, so i'm not sure

That's not always a given.

Depending on the year combinations, you may need to just slot a hole.

3 of 4 will bolt right up you have to grind the 4th bolt hole out a little bit to make it fit right though. 90 gtu seats in my gslse

The passenger side will bolt right up, but the right side of the driver seat I believe is the one that doesn't fit. I just took the right seat rail off of my first gen seat and attached it using a nut and bolt combo since the rail wasn't long enough to reach the 2nd gen seat rail mounting holes, but there is a threadless hole where the second screw should be. The front hole should line up fine with the threaded hole.

I ended up bolting the FC seats to the FB brackets. Worked fine. I could never get the FC brackets to line up.

Dunno where to start? You start with a wrench.

You can bolt any seats into any car... Always start with a wrench.

If the wrench don't work, you work your way up to file, dremel, die grinder, and drill bit...

If those don't work, you're left with welder and sawz-all... But at that point you may wanna reconsider.

Took me a week to adapt Recaro SP's with Recaro rails into my first gen. Goddamn nightmare of a job it was. :P

Bloody things sit too high anyway.

In my expieriance the driver seat works out fine and the seat is lower which can be good but the passanger has the hump where the exhaust is and this creates a problem cuz the stock seats for that side is formed for that hump so your new seat rails will align but the seat will not be parallel to the driver. Since the new seats non FB SA do not have the hump in the frame of the seat to cater to this hump to makes the seat angled toward the passanger side of the car.

What you need to do is to make up a spacer of some description. I used a piece of 1.5 inch thick square metal tubing and had plates welded to each end to seal it up. Bolted this to the floor, bolted the aftermarket rails to the top of that. If you were using RX7 rails you'd bolt the spacer ON TOP of the rails, rather than the other way around (which is what I did)

Wow, that makes ZERO sense!

You are right, makes no sense, but I have an idea of what you are saying.
Why don't u unbolt your seat and show us with pics.

I've been trying to figure a bracket for my passenger seat for a couple of weeks now. What a pain in the ***!

The angle of the stock rails on the stock seat:
