How to: Vader-e36 seat install
Collapse

-
Does anyone know if power vaders have different rails, or frames than the manual ones. I made the brackets and they measure up pretty well (+/- mm) and the brackets do not seem to fit at all. I could get the fronts in, but now the rears. I could re drill the holes, but would like to make sure before I do so.

in case anyone is wondering, you can do this legally if you use 1 original factory bolt. I used the inside (next to console) bolt to start the install and made brackets for each other location. This will keep your seat from rotating in an accident, and according to a commercial vehicle inspector friend of mine, is the only way to legally put non-factory seats in your car that dont have factory adapters.
Doing it this way does make my seat VERY close to the center console, and totally rubs it when you move it forward (my seat is electric). When the seat is in a normal person position or for a tall person, its got about 5-10mm clearance.
**EDIT**
I just noticed his version 2 of the brackets, there is no way your seat could move with that design.______________________________________
