Default Evo Recaro's into a classic

Managed to get some Evo 6 front Recaro seats at a good price, want to fit them into a classic wagon, anyone done it?

Seats look similar to classic Subaru Recaro upgrade, possibly a set of rails from these would help?

Piccie here



Any help appreciated

Best of luck: the Scoob Recaros are even rarer than those beasts, so finding some you can take the seat rails off.....

My eldest reckons any decent fabricator would knock you up some alloy seat rails to suit.

He's done it himself when one of his mates wanted Celica GT seats in his truck.

Thanks for that mate have a friend with some Recaro runners for a Scoob but no fore & aft adjustment, also have a genuine pair of Subaru Recaro's I can compare with, so when I get the runners will have a look see what we need to fabricate
