title pretty much says it all... RX seats went into my 79 brat!

 

alright... these are an awesome improvement over the stock seats... very comfortable... also these seats have 'sides' to them... no more slipping out of the seat for me when turning sharp!

 

that was my reason for installing them (along with them being free:D) but i ran into some rather unexpected, yet good, results...

 

the seat sits much higher then the stock one... giving me more leg room... which is nice because its cramped as it is in there... plus having that up/down adjustment is just so much fun to play with...:-p

 

i was worried they'd conflict with my speaker boxes... but they didn't! hazzah! actually there is almost more room back there...

 

you'll notice the driver seat is a little torn... but you can't beat free eh?

 

i can tell how i did it if anybody is intested...

 

Did they slip right in? any modifications? and what year RX did the seats come out of? (there's a nice one at the local pick-a-part, from late 80s)

no they didn't slip right in...

 

the brackets are about an inch and a half wider then stock... also... the tab in the corner closest to the back of the ebrake is the wrong shape...

 

for the passenger side i took off the the bracket on the RX and installed the stock bracket from my brat...(had to drill one hole...)

 

make plates for the other side that bolted to the stock holes on the car and the seat brackets...

 

driverside i drilled out the wrongly shaped tab and fabbed a new one outa metal plate... easy to do... then make adapter plates just like on the passenger side...

 

oh and a little bending of the tabs is needed... and some washers as spacers...

they look awesome in there.

 

i was going to use ea81 seats in my brat until Andrew offered me a set of gen 1 seats, but the ea81's are suprisingly close. with a few washers, i could have easilly gotten 3 out of 4 bolts right in.

Those seats definately look like they belong there.I like it.A little extra side support always helps.
