    Is someone selling brackets to mount e36 seats (vaders/sport seats) in an e30?

    I had e36 M3 sport seats in my previous e30 and I loved them. I used this thread: LINK to make some quick brackets to mount them. I used his exact dimensions and I know how to cut, drill, weld and measure properly, so I know they weren't fabbed improperly.

    I am parting out my e36 M3, and it had black non heated sport seats in it. These aren't the most desirable of M3 seats (they're not Vaders). They are in really good condition and I can't seem to sell them for even $250. The e30 I bought has gray cloth comfort seats and I had planned on just finding a nice set of e30 sports as they are original and much lighter than my e36 sports. But if I can't even get $250 then fuck it, I'll use them myself. I might just see about making the rear seat work in the e30 too... it is pretty damn nice and has the arm rest/ski pass-through.

    I don't know if I am imagining things or not, but I could have sworn that someone was making brackets and selling them on here. I have searched and found nothing. Does anyone know of what I am talking about, or am I just thinking of the couple of people that have made Recaro brackets?

    I no longer have access to the machine/fab shop that I did when I was getting my degree, but I just bought a welder so I can fab the same ones up again. I'd just rather buy some that I know will work properly.

    Any help is much appreciated.

    You're not imagining things. Someone has been making them. But I have totally forgotten who. I think, MAYBE, it was RobertK

            If I'm going to buy brackets, I'm not going to modify them. I can wait until he makes more. Thanks though.
