dima_b32

any ideas?

omochi

just look for any bottom mount seat rails for FD applications. i believe sparco, recaro and bride have 'em. however, your seat is generic so i dont know if it'd have the proper width at the bottom?

good luck!

dima_b32

but will they fit for these seats?

omochi

i edited my post after you replied.. not sure if they'd fit- try to measure the proportions and find a seat that's most like it. (most companies have online specs for their seats)

then again, the mounting points may be different...

so alternatively, find another set of stock FD rails and hack 'em up.

dima_b32

you mean hack em up as making different holes in them or try making brackets ot of them?

Probably NOT. You will more than likely have to fab your own brackets. Also what is width of the seats? Do they even fit?

Fitting aftermarket seats in the FD is notoriously hard. Most seats don't fit. If you search the interior/exterior subforum you will see tons of threads with "do these seats fit my FD"

I think you bought your self more hassle then savings by buying these seats.

7racer

most likely brackets. Are you sure they fit?

dima_b32

the seats fit in the car preatu good, the problem is geting the brackets

the fd brackets have the holes 13 in apart,the aftermarket are 15 apart, so take the fd brackets off, go to lowes buy a metal strip, to fit sideways on the seats and mount the fd brakets on it with some bolts, get the idea is like a tic,tac,toe board

I'm surprised if they fit. Just to double check before you go through the trouble of making brackets, make sure you can close the door without the seat shoulder bolster hitting the door.

You can also look at the sparco fitting guide and look at the torino's to see your measurements. Pay particular attention to measurements B and D.

http://www.sparcousa.com/resourceFiles/26.pdf

B needs to be around 22.17 inches
D needs to be around 19.13 inches

according to ebay the measurements aren't exactly listed but it states width is 22" so it's close. Just double check before you go to the trouble of fabbing brackets.

I hate to say it man, but those seats look like ricer crap. You're better off with a pair of nice R1 or base seats.

Hahahaha...........now that's exactly what I was thinking. There's plenty of nice seats out there and I'm sorry but these are DEFINITELY not one of them.

Thanks Rich, now I don't have to say it.


Like the others said, you will have to fabricate your own brackets. Do it SMART. That bracket is the only thing holding the seat down if you get in an accident.

dima_b32

thanks for the complient but i dont care the reason we bought the seats becouse the car was striped inside and the driver seat was gone and driver seat is all torn up. just needed some cheap seat's.


The door closes good when the seat is in the car.

Sorry, dima, not trying to be a jerk. I just think those things scream 'honduh cibic tybe R'

^ Why don't you just buy some stock leather seats.....tan ones are especially easy to find and not too pricey either. Besides you won't have bracket issues that way and it should end up costing about the same price as these seats installed w/custom brackets. Just throwing out a suggestion.

dima_b32

Yea that sound betar now but, i learned my leson so yea it is a good idea but its too late.
Have to deal with these seats now

Once you fabricate brackets the seat will sit up higher about 6 inches. if you set the seat on something that is 6 inches high to simulate proper installation, does the side bolster rub on the door? that is the main problem with fitment.

dima_b32

no it does not rub against the door theres alitle bit of space between the the door and the seat left. There's same amount of space between the original seat and this seat.
