What do I need to put storage bins in my 86?

I’m going to get some storage bins for my 86 at a yard tomorrow. I’m wondering what all I need to grab. I know I need the fiberglass frames, the bins, the trunk carpet piece, and the front short carpet piece that goes across the front of the storage bins right behind the seats.

is there anything I’m forgetting? I think I’ve got it all.

i think that is it, there is a little harness for the lights and stuff, might want to grab that. actually you should grab everything, we've run out of FC's here, there hasn't been one in a yard in more than a year i think

it’s a private seller who has about 20 or so RX7s and 8s in a yard. It’s Basically my parts supply at this point.

good to know about the patch harness, would’ve probably missed that.

Am I right in that it’s just a handful of 10-12mm bolts, some trim clips, and some philips screws? I know the seats had some 16mm bolts for the seatbelts but that’s the only difference I can think of.

oh you will want the rubber plugs from the floor, they go in the holes that the rear seatbelt uses.

off the top its just a 10mm and phillips. in theory you can peel the carpet up, unbolt the frame and it'll come out as an assembly, but its huge and clunky, i split it in half (the frame is two halves)

the bin frame is different the stupid S5 seat belts have a stupid motor that sticks out. the frame fits, but in an S4 car there will be a hole. the bins are the same though
