Any spare front-seat parts people want to get rid of?

I picked up a pair of Recaro Classics (slightly updated versions of the Recaro Idealseat-C) from Germany and am at the point where I need to fab up some brackets.

I'd rather not trash perfectly functional stock seats from my truck because they're in fine condition - just not sized for me to be comfortable. But considering the rarity of the Recaro's I will need to install the stock seats if I ever sell the truck - so I need to store them in fully functional condition.

So if anyone has a front seat(s) that they wouldn't mind cannibalizing - I'm looking for the mounting rails from the underside. That's really the only component I'm interested in. If so - please give a shout.

Otherwise I'll just bend up some new ones and weld them together, but figuring this might look a tad more stock'ish...

Thanks!

ok - I'll move it over to that zone - wasn't thinking about it.. : )

I called recaro but couldn't source the bracket part numbers. If you could tell me what they are I'd sure appreciate it. I called Corbeau and they are 8wks away from a production-run. I'm not that patient.

So send those recaro part numbers over if you could please!

call a Recaro Dealer
http://www.parcars.com

I have a Gen1 4Runner - dunno if the bracket is the same or not.
Also I use SRDs.. dunno if the mount is the same or not

The vendor I got the seats from (10 years ago) I cant seem to locate
(Dover NJ?)

I have dealt with these guys for Schroth
http://www.hmsmotorsport.com/

They should be able to help
