I too am about to start on a journey to fit my Sparco/Prodrive seat's into my RA.

Thanks to one of the forum members supplying me with a pair of seat rails I don't have to dismantle my original seat frames.

Damn you have a keen eye my friend.

Thats because i was trial fitting the seat when i was making my final mounting holes on my runners. Hense i would move the seat and clamp in place with 4 pair of molegrips and test.

That way i could lock the seat in position without bolting it properly
