I bought a rx8 seats set black and red for my 1990 rx7 convertible. does any one knows if i can use the convertible seat brackets or do i have to make my own ones. can any body point me to the right direction. i will not going to receive them until next week by ups, so i want to be prepare. Thanks

 

I welded the rx8 brackets to the rx7 brackets in the drivers side cutting the rx8 brackets to go on top of the RX7 ones still using the RX8 rail to move back and forth. In the passenger side I couldnt use the RX8 bracket just used the RX7 one to move back and forth. Its a pretty easy conversion. just mock it up a few time. Sorry I couldnt help much but Its easy if u got a welder.

 

Thank you very much. I will play with it next wheek. I have a welder at work and a plasma cuter so i will try it over there. Thanks.

 

Weld or fabricate, but not swap rails and bolt on

 

Thanks for the tip. I will see next week what im up against. If i think i cant do it i will pay someone to do it for me.

 

If you don't get it done take it to Brian at Speed1 right there in Allentown he has set in his FC and has fabbed up a few for other people also. He is currently finishing my Turbo FB ( his wiring is excellent ) and I have no way to fab exhaust or intercooler piping

 

Where is that located at?

Ok i will contact him if i dont do it. Thanks

 

Finally did the conversion myself and I have to say that it looks great and they feel real good. It wasn't a hard job but it takes time and patience. It toke me around 7hrs to get it done but I did it and I'm happy. I toke the rx7 rails apart and did some welding to the rx8 seats, also I had to grind off the the ones from the rx8 seats. The hard one was the passenger side due to it was to low on one side and it looks crooked so I had to weld a metal piece to make it even. Also had to remove the seat belt bracket because the one from the rx7 does not clips to it. Now all I need to do is the wires for the power seat. I want to thanks all you guys that gave me some tips to getted done and I will post some photos later.

 

Finally everything is done. Got power to the driver seat today and is working real good.

 

good job, looks really good! big ups

 

Thanks

 

Man that looks really clean. Did you lose any head clearance by doing the custom rails? I'm 6'2 and Im already near rubbing my head on the roof as it is. Don't wanna be catching bugs in my bangs

 

looks clean dude, i've been tempted to do this but the speakers on mine still work good, i guess once they go i'll consider this
