NB seat rails fit in an NA?

Postby deviant » Thu Jan 13, 2011 3:10 pm

I have put a Sparco Sprint V in my NA8 but I am not happy with the positioning of the clasp on the transmission tunnel or the position it forces my belt to sit across my body.

From what I have seen the NB has the clasp built on to the rail and not on to the seat like an NA so I am hoping I can use NB rails.

Yes, they do. You might just need to bend the ends of the NB rails a smidge so that the bolt plate sits flatter (like the NA). Otherwise, they're a straight fit.

I just went through this exercise a couple of weeks ago where I fitted NB seats into my NA.

Brilliant! Thanks for that Hammer. Saves me a big headache figuring out how to sort out the seatbelt situation. Now who has a set for driver and passenger side?!
