Ok pics. Ive taken these of the drivers seat but passengers is identical just mirrored
Ignore the unused hole. I made a mistake with measuring but have not got round to making covers for this bit yet. The two tabs are spaced with a M8 nut otherwise it sits wonky.
Tab welded to bottom of rx8 runner
Inner side. I have used the base runner of the original seat. you could just get a strip of 4mm steel, bolt it down then weld the tabs to that and remove the m8 spacer nuts on the other side for a lower seat (drivers has height adjustment anyway)
Front of inside runner.
The pug seatbelts dont fit in the rx8 seat belt plugs. Ive fitted the pug pre tensioners but you need some weird thread bolts (will find it soon) and need a spacer otherwise the pretensioner tube is bent against a dip in the metal on the rx8 seat.
All the metal ive used is 4mm steel and this is more than enough. The seat is actually sturdier than the original! The rx8 runners also have more travel than the pug ones so means you can have the seat closer than the pug max and further away.
hope this helps guys. Im going to drop mine down by welding the tabs to a metal bar on the inside and removing the spacer nut. Oh and all of this is bolted into the original positions with the original bolts. No modification needed to the body.
