    Hi Guys,

    I got a pair of Recaro Pole Position Seats ready to be mount on my 355. I bought the L plates as well. But how could it be fit on the original seat rails ?

    Does anyone here has experience on this and could give me some advice. Thanks !

    You need to make up some custom mounting brackets

    You need to weld up a pied of right angle stock to a piece of straight stock. Then drill holes to accommodate the rear mounting points to the chassis. Then you also need to drill holes to mount the sliders to the flat stock so the seat can be mounted to the bracket. It is recommended that you have at least the slider for the drive side so you can ingress and egress easier.
