i fitted ford rs recaros to mine and just squashed to volvo seat rail with my hands to make it narrower and bored new holes so it would bolt sraight on to the new seat then welded tabs with the right size of holes on to the side so that it would bolt straight into the standard holes in the floor sounds complicated but is actully really simple can post pics if you like?
cheers
