Mazda RX8 Seats Fitted

Sorry to go off on a tangent from the seat discussion. I was planning to do this seat swap, but read with interest about changing the steering height.

It is mentioned above that there is a bracket behind the dashboard.... does this enable you to change the height or position of the steering wheel ?

Thanks

I did it a bit differently, I connected the old runners to the bottom of the new seats. The worst bit was angle grinding off all of the brackets. Did a day laning on Sun and they were mega comfy!

That sounds pretty simple :)


Does this means that you completely cut off the runners on the RX8 seats? How are the old runnners connected to the new seats?


Do you have more pictures?
 
Very nice, the none electric seats are easier to work with very light compared with the powered drivers seat also the drivers door card touches the plastic paneling on the drivers seat so for now i have to slam the door shut but intend fitting SP land rover doors ( series style ) ones.

those seats look ace :)
