Problem mounting MemoryFab S58's in FD

I am having some serious problems with rail fitment on the MemoryFab S58 seats. The rails are correct, but fitment is just way off. Any insight would be awesome...

Would turning those little L brackets in under the seat instead of outwards from the seat work?

That was my first thought too, but no. They are mounted correctly. The "L" bracket will not clear the rear part of the shell...

Those are definitely not the same brackets that I have on my Memoryfab seats. Mine don't have an "L" bracket at all. The bracket is welded straight to the middle of the rails:

Perhaps they sent you the wrong brackets by mistake. I had the S58s in my FD and installation was a breeze.

Is there anyway I could get some pics of your bracket bolted to the car and to the seat? I am going to email them today. I have not had any experience with MemoryFab, so I am hoping they know whats going on and will take care of me.

I had the exact same problem when i tried to install my seats, I called MemoryFab and they said they are working on the problem.
I guess they changed manufactures and the new brackets don't work.

I'm supposed to hear back from MemoryFab on Monday to see what they are going to do.

Ya, they told me the same thing. I had some brackets mounted up in the mean time, but they are not low at all. So I guess I'll wait to hear from them...
