mad_pete Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 I’m wondering about the rear seat rail to seat runners connection. I was thinking about trying the rails flat but I going to elevate them at the rear to keep my fuel pump wire happy and have the rail extend over the seat box lip for now. Given that I could bolt all the way through the rail but I’m wondering about some sort of threaded insert I could weld in. I could slope the back like the front so I can reach on for a nut or drill an access hole underneath the rail and have it so the seat needs to come out to get the rail off.

mad_pete Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 I was thinking I would nudge the seats inboard a bit to make sure the buttons don’t hit the door but as I look at the rx8 the drivers one isn’t central to the rails so I need to measure and see how offset seat to steering wheel would be. Maybe a few mm isn’t noticeable when driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_pete Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 I can't seem to nudge enough. Maximum nudge still doesn't clear with the buttons on. What offset from seat box bolt holes to seat bolts onto the RX8 seats have other people used ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_pete Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 Went with these for extending the seat loom. I think yellow one would have been better for this joint but I like these easy all in one. I think I had foolishly been assuming the land rover seat mounts are in a square pattern on the seat box but I now don't think they are so my attempts at symmetry in the rails are causing me problems.

mad_pete Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 That’s not me. Sorry. I’ve put the driver seat in and it seems a touch close to the door so I need to move it across a touch I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
