Gaz Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 How are they mounted? May have some of the proper race seat mounts to suit mk2 escort. Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Proper bucket seat mounts that mount to side. Then they are mounted to escort runners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escortwags Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 had Racepro 101's in my escort wagon using the racepro side brakets they bolted directly onto the STANDARD escort seat runners if that helps?? undo old seats bolt on new ones easy peasy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 The Racepro side brackets are the ones I have. I didnt mount them but they wernt mounted directly to the OG seat rails.. Not saying that they cant tho. Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2_escort Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 before my mk2 got stolen, i had jamex fixed buckets in it. to mount the seats i used 2 metal plates (each seat) to adapt to the width of the bolt holes of the seat and the rail width. also had to take apart the rail and drill holes to adapt to the different distance (front to back) of the holes on the seat and the rail. so i used 2 metal plates for each seat. i used 5mm steel to keep people doing warrants happy but 3mm would be fine, and about 50mm wide. and they both ran the width of the new seat holes, with the width of the rails being narrow-er. it cost me about $15 for the steel plates all cut up to the lengths that i wanted. took an hour or 2 to do it all. i hope thats not too hard to understand.
