    through my train of thought i have thought this up. am i right or wrong?

    ma61 supra seats bolt into ae86s with the modification of 1 bolt hole

    soarers of the like of mz12 etc and mx73 cressidas sharing the same chassis means that the seat rails should be the same. am i right or wrong?

    I'm quite interested in the leather bucket seats out of a soarer for their luxuriousness and bucketness

    if anyone has any experience with this please tell me whether I'm crazy or not

    I had a BRIDE MA61 seat/rail which i put in my sprinter.
    I had to move the front right mount/tab slightly to the left and bend one of the rear tabs.

    It bolted in but sat stupidly high, and made driving the car not enjoyable.

    I then got a proper BRIDE seat rail for an AE86. I then realised how shit the modified one was.....

    Ive spoken to to other people from this forum about it and rthy who has had a set of ma61 in one of is ae86 and as for fitting goes one of the mounts is suspended above the bolt hole on the floor , so to fit it properly a piece of metal needs to be welded in to bolt up the last hole, Ive got the ma61 seats and will be doing this when I have the time , will get some pics up when i do it
    Rust is a way of life

    I got rthy's old seats, and all bar one of of the mounts had has the holes extended, so I ended up welding new plates onto those 3 and drilling new holes.
    It is correct that one of the rear mounts is suspended in the air and needs to be spaced up to bolt it down.
