Does AE86 seat rail fit KE70?

[Plelz]

Wanting to know before purchase if a seat rail for an AE86 will fit/line up with the rail mounting points on a KE70? ie. will an aftermarket AE86 seat rail bolt directly into a KE70?

[stx-16]

no it wont

[blake.]

can i ask why/how they dont?

[stx-16]

i cant remember how much it was off by but when i tried to put an ae86 seat in my ke70 it wouldn't wit i had to cut off the end tabs and weld on my own

well, my ke70 rails fit in my 86, the holes are a bit off though..

Two line up, one's real close, the other one's ten mm off or something. enough to require cutting and rewelding.

I've noticed that a lot of the aftermarket sprinter seat rails differ from eachother.

I have a bride in my ae71 and i had to cut and shut two of the tabs to make the holes line up.

Skylar is right, two usually line up but it will need modding.

Just buy a te72 seat rail from jap land? bride make them

$$$

vs.

50 bucks in metal + stock seat rail + intimate afternoon with the welder.

Just took the stock rail off the seat. Looks like with a bit of cutting and welding I can make the seat fit onto it.
Cheers guys

as stated with an aftermarket rail two tabs need to be moved slightly

although a stock ae86 seat rail will bolt straight into a ke70

well, my ke70 rails fit in my 86, the holes are a bit off though..

well then it doesnt fit?

i hacked up a standard seat rail and fitted it to my recaro (that originally had an R32 bride rail bolted to it)

no welding required, just a few hols drilled and bolts cut to size.

i have an 86 bride seat rail (in my 86) which had been "modded" for a ke70. one mounting hole had been slightly enlarged, so i would say it can be done and much cheaper than buying a specific rail.
