How to fit Ignis sport recaro into a Jimny

Well I got it to tighten up so hopefully it'll hold so won't need any welding!

On another note I'm not convinced with the comfort of them! I'm 6'2, 34 inch waist so not huge but find the seat base bolster kinda digs into my bottom?! The seat base in fine condition so obvs just the shape of the seat, hoping I just need to get used to them!

Thread revival here!!! I'm hoping someone can help. I gave the rods to my father in law who works at an engineering company to extend 1 inch as per the very helpful write up. They have done such a good job and blended them in I can't even tell. The slight problem I have is one is 15mm longer than the other!!!! Can anyone tell me the length they were as I didn't measure them or the length they need to be. Cheers.

Nice one. Is that before or after the 1" adjustment? Just checking,

Cheers fella, I just need to give that length to the guy that's going to put them right, much appreciated.

Sorry to bump an old thread. There seems to be a lot of threads on this topic which link back to this one.

Does anyone have access to the original images? I've just picked myself up a set of Ignis Recaros (I assume £80 sets are a far gone luxury ), wanting to get them into my truck but really could use the pictures to aid me fitting them in.

Also out of curiosity when you transplant the Ignis seats onto the Jimny rails does it maintain the seat base adjustment wheel?

I did this some weeks ago, there are some photos in my build thread. here is the bar in progress of extension

[My 01 Jimny, another Norwegian
r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?share_fid=65696...589&share_type=t/URL ] link, does it work?

Currently lying on the floor about to throw in the towel. Whoever said this frankenseat was easy evidently hasn't had the problems I have, been at it 5 hours, got the passenger seat ALMOST together.

One of the back bolts has crossthreaded, I refuse to take this bolt out now as I know it won't go in again. 3 of the 4 base bolts have lined up, don't have the strength to bend the frame enough for the last one, nevermind pop the bolt in at the same time.

I would strongly recommend you secure an extra pair of hands before attempting trying to force everything into shape and bolt it together is a nightmare on your own, in fact it might have ruined one of my seat backs as I attempted to run the bolt in squint.
