    Recaro SRD on stock slider with no additional parts?

    Is this possible or do I need to get an adaptor to use the stock slider, not concerned with getting it super low as its a daily driver.

      My SRDs are on stock sliders. I can get pics if you want them.
      Edit: I had a friend weld in some mounts on the sliders, but they sit at a good height and don't rub the console or door panel.

        Please do, would love to see how it looked, in case we decide to make our own.

          Ok, I'll get a few pictures tomorrow morning. It looked like a very simple mod also once you had the sliders off the factory seats.

              Im sure there are better ways to get this done, but if you went with something like I did I would recommend making the front bracket that sets the height for the seat (measured in 4th picture at ~1.75 in. from the seat base to center line of the mounting bolt) a tad shorter. If the seat sat around .25-.5 inches lower in the front it would be perfect.

                I would advise not running those and getting something a little more robust like Jandersons recaro adapters or equivalent.

                  Thanks for the pics, thats a really nice bit of work you guys did.
                  I am looking at the Massive ones, if nobody local or on the forums has one they need to get rid of I'll be buying one new from them, but if I can help a fellow r3v member I'll buy it second hand.
