As above really, looking to get some soon, but was wondering if I could avoid the additional expense of aftermarket rails.

Cheers

 

you would think with the amount of posts you have made you would know lol, if you have a classic or newage up to the end of the hawk eye any seats in these will fit from what i have seen on here

 

Just drill some new holes in rails if needed and maybe weld a base plate in case seats are too wide or thin.
Wouldn't be too hard I imagine (I'm going to be doing the same as I'm not spending money on some buddy club and the likes rails)

 

Do you still need adjustability?

I buthered the OEM rails to make some mounts for my buckets, but I lost the adjustability in the process. I seem to recall that at least on the new age, the rails are rather integral to the seat, so you'll need to get the angle grinder out either way.

 

Modify an old set of rails to fit the side mounts on your bucket seats.

 

Yup, I made my own for fitting bucket seats into my newage from classic seat rails

 

Sorry I should have made it clear for the benefit of the newbs, I intend on getting aftermarket lightweight fixed back buckets.

 

About £150 each last time I looked.

 

At first I would have said yes, but nobody else is going to be driving my car...ever. SO no, I guess fixed position would work well.

 

Exactly
Will it be a road legal car? If so it needs to move back and forth for MOT.

 

I didn't know that, I guess I'll just have to keep a spare for once a year.
