Title: Sports Seats into a cortina
Post by: corty80 on October 14, 2007, 12:39:14 PM

Has anyone put SAAS, Recaro etc sports seats into a cortina?  What have people done for the rails, use the cortina ones?

I actually modified the cortina rails and made them fit on the OBX seats. Iam not happy with it though, its still abit still for moving and the seat sits about 1" to 1 1/2" too high. So Iam gonna get some seat rails off a newer vehicle and adapt them, then cut one side of the floor out and re-shape to lower the seat down to the hieght Iam after.

Yes, I have fitted SAAS Seats into my corty. I used the factory cortina rails and slider mech, mounted a plate on top of them. Then drilled holes through the plate to bolt up into the seat. The whole seat height will raise approx 5mm. I just used 3 mm plate. for mine.
