khughes Posted October 23, 2006 Share #1 Posted October 23, 2006 as some of you know, i have been looking at trying to get some seat rails for my recaro SR3 seats, to fit the 240k.. After a bit of searching, i found a company in tokyo that sells the seat rails that i needed!! Luckily for me, i had family going over for a couple of 2 week stints in tokyo, and i was able to get the rails delivered to their hotel so that they could lug them home for me (12.5kg total, i wouldn't wish that on anyone other than family http://www.howars.co.jp/search_result_free.php?free=C110 The part numbers were N094SR and N093SR I was a little worried at what the rails would be like, seeing as the web didn't show pictures, and google translator didn't workout so well for me on this site. I was very surprised to find that they were actually genuine Bride seat rails! and for the set it ended up costing me the princely sum of AU$250!!! (and that is for the pair!) They fitted perfectly (as i would expect), and i now have mounted seats (one big tick on my list of things to do!) The only down side is for the passenger (only because of my roll cage, and the cross brace behind the front seats), the passanger seat can not be reclined back very far, unless they are sitting on the dashboard.. but that isn't my problem i will post some pics tonight, i left my camera at home this morning Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/22021-got-my-seat-rails/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

khughes Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share #3 Posted October 23, 2006 it certainly saved me a bit of money i can use (or is that waste ) elsewhere! Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/22021-got-my-seat-rails/#findComment-186770 Share on other sites More sharing options...
240kconvertible Posted October 23, 2006 Share #4 Posted October 23, 2006 Nice work you have just solved one of my problems on the list that I wasn't even going to look at for ages. Did you ever look into how much it would cost to get them sent over?Also how much did you pay for your seats? that's another thing I haven't priced up yet.

khughes Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share #5 Posted October 23, 2006 i paid $1550 for a 2nd hand set of recaro SR3's in very good contion, these came with a set of Falcon recaro seat rails that i later sold for around $150 I have seen sets go for $1000-1100 if your quick (watch SAU, sylvia forums etc.) i think the hard bit would be to get somebody over there to order them for you (i don't think they will ship directly), i guess check EMS to see what 12.5Kg would cost (i am guessing $100+) pics here http://www.project240k.com/images/thumbnails.php?album=14 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/22021-got-my-seat-rails/#findComment-186782 Share on other sites More sharing options...

khughes Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share #7 Posted October 24, 2006 actually, if it wasn't for you i would have never found that place Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/22021-got-my-seat-rails/#findComment-186890 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Big Hat Posted October 25, 2006 Share #8 Posted October 25, 2006 hmm, so they're made by bride to fit recaro? bride and recaro have different rail spacing? i ask because they list a different part # for each Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/22021-got-my-seat-rails/#findComment-187044 Share on other sites More sharing options...
khughes Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share #9 Posted October 25, 2006 yep they are.. i assume the other ones are for bride? not sure, i guess you would need to compare the spacing (on the website).. the instructions that came with the seats were generic, so that doesn't help...maybe worth checking out yahoo auctions for pics.. i don't think there are too many manufacturers of seat rails for C110 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/22021-got-my-seat-rails/#findComment-187053 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Big Hat Posted December 18, 2006 Share #12 Posted December 18, 2006 same exact as you did, but the box is labled "Juran Racing"'and you're right: these fit to perfection!took me a whole hour to install both seatswhereas it took me almost half a day to install seats using the american made recaro brackets on my 510 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/22021-got-my-seat-rails/#findComment-193026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
