    Need help re: Recaro seats

    Guys I need your help. I need to know if all bottom mount Recaro's have the same seat bolt pattern. 2 bolts in front about an inch from each other and 1 bolt on the back for a total of 6 bolts. From what I've gathered so far they are all like this. Just want to confirm this is the standard Recaro pattern.

    for the most part yes.
    what seats are you trying to adapt?

      I'm not, just trying to settle something. Do you know of a bottom mount Recaro that has a different pattern?

        every reclining back one i have ever seen has the same bolt pattern EXCEPT the VW "corrado" ones that have tyhe single center rail and a different seat bottom. the center rail is welded to the bottom of the seat and the actaul seat bottom is different too.

          All of the ones I've ever seen look like that. Unless they are an OEM seat, then its anybodies guess.

                Any of you gentlemen see a reason why these wouldn't work?

                  I had custom adapters made by a friend, and i only used the 2 front bolts and 2 rear bolts.

                  two cylindrical pipes for the rear, and a t-shaped flatbar up front with washers to secure it. I used a 1/8" thick flatbar to secure the bottom of the seats

                    are those original recaro brackets?

                      They are OEM Honda brackets for Recaros. Just by looking at the bolt pattern does it look like they fit the above Recaros with the (3 bolt on each side pattern) I already know the answer but just asking for opinions.
