g'day guys
just wondering where people get their seat rails, either custom cut and welded or brand new aftermarket ones for racing seats
theres some on ebay but i think they would just be flimsy shit metal, and there isnt a picture of them anyway
just wondering if there is any place in melbourne that sells seat rails or can modify stock rails semi cheaply, but not necessarily cheaply,
thanks guys :thumbup:

i mod'ed my stock rails to work with my recardo seats..bought metal plate from bunnings for $12 and let the power tools do all the hard work. drill new holes and cut plate to right length

ive already got ae86 rails
i dont wanna fuck them up by trying to do shit myself
id rather do it right the first time either by buying new aftermarket ones or getting someone in the know to mod them for me
also it might not be as simple as just getting bride or sparco rails or watever because ive got some no name ebay race bucket here, it seems the same as a branded race seat but u never know with ebay shit

IMO its not hard at all and im a shit at welding. make a frame to attach to the seat. drill holes in frame to bolt on to seat. get some spare pieces of metal to attach the frame to the rails. then weld up. mine looks pretty dodgey though- but will do the job.
