OK, so I got myself a pair of aftermarket reclinable seats.
I need the brackets but autotecnica does not make them for the Trueno.
Anyone have recommendations where in WA I can get a set made up and possibly have the seats installed?
Thanks

You'd better off getting some rails made specifically for AE86 from Japan, such as Bride rails.

yeah some proper rails that sit low cause autotecnica seats will sit high on modified standard rails

I did a search online and found that there are a few types of bride seat rails, which one should I get?
Type-HL: Reclinable seats (CUGA / VORGA TYPE-HL)
Type-RO: Reclinable seats (PROS / STRADIA / CUGA / VORGA)
Type-MO: Reclinable seats (EURO II / Old model reclining / Other sport seat maker)
Type-FO: Bucket seats (ALL BRIDE FULL BUCKET SEATS)
Type-FG: Bucket seats (ALL BRIDE FULL BUCKET SEATS)
Type-LR: Reclinable Seat (GIAS / STRADIA Seat Only)
Type-LF: Bucket seats (Low Max System)

pretty sure kyp has a few 86 seat rails around. take your seat and see if they match the bolt patterns on the rails. I had to order the Bride RS seat rail to suit the seats bolt pattern.
try hunt around for a some seat specs to see what measurements you need for bolt holes. alternatively a drill and a welder are also viable options when fitting a new bucket seat.

I'll even throw in a 6 pack of beer if someone can help me get the seats bolted onto rails and into the car! :thumbup:
