TX Help with aftermarket Bride seat.

Hi guys, I own an '88 FC3S SE and I wanted to buy a seat since my stock one is ripping, and all the cushion is falling out. I was looking at the Bride Digo Gradation reclinable seat, and I was wondering what I would need to install it. Is there a certain bracket I need from Bride? Also, is it just a bolt-in install or is fabrication needed to make it fit? I'm only getting the driver's seat for now to save money, so that's all I'm asking about.
Thanks in advance.

Have you ever sat in the seat? I understand they are kinda tight.

I heard from someone who is a waist 36 that they fit in the seat just fine. I'm 5'8 and weigh 159 so I fit.

Bride does make seat rails to fit the RX7.Fitment is good, depending on what seat is on top of the rail.
I had a seat other than a Bride on Bride rails so I had to modify the Base,but the regular Bride rail and base setup is plop in and bolt down.

Do you know which rail it needs? I'm thinking it's the RO but I'd like confirmation.

the bride digo seat is very comfortable i had one in my car and loved it. you should be able to get a seat rail from bride but they are kinda pricey. so i would check around and find one that fits the seat you have.
