Hi Guys,


Just after some bucket seats. When I eventually get the cash together gonna get some on ebay that are $600 with 'universal rails' that a mate will heap me customise as needed.

If anyone has some decent bucket seats they wanna get rid of that are in decent knick I would be happy to hear about them!


Cheers,
Sam.

Bear in mind that "universal rails" aren't guaranteed to be useful for an MB where the factory rails are unlike what you'd find in most other cars. Also make sure you get seat measurements. Plenty of people have been caught out where the base is too wide or the wings on the seat back poke out through the windows.

Yeh but from what I have seen the 'universal rails' are easier thsn standard rails to modify. A mate has done a few different modifications to rails and rekons he should be able to help me out.

And yeh the $600 ones just fit, the $400 ones dont haha.

Much easier to make MB rails fit the aftermarket seat.

have to agree with makeing the mb rails fit the seat there is no way on earth the universal rails will fit up to an mb i tried it twice and failed so i drilled some new holes in the rails bolted it up used a few nasty words trying to fit them in the car and got it done

Similar experience here - MB rails under donor seats. would love some after market sports seats as my donor seats are too high, a bit wide & do not flip forward but very hard to get a good fit as many are just a bit too wide.

I got some Autotechnica ones, and they fitted up quite easy, and do slide, push forward a bit.

Agreed with the comments about the padding, but mine is only for occasional use, so still like new.

cheers breyton. had looked into autotecnica before but so many people just said they were to uncomfy... this is my daily but I dont mind a bit uncomfy if it holds me in better than these reuppolstered leather stock seats are. Even on the slightest corners I lean on the window / passenger haha.
