Default last minute recaro pole position install - yes I searched

I have read a lot of threads, and I THINK there must be multiple ways to do this. But I have a random question as well.

0. Can little kids still access the back seats? My boys aren't in the back often, but they both want to go to Luft, so I need access still.

1. I think I want to mount the drivers seat to the floor assuming there is a clean method to do this. Is the Brey Krouse solution for this bolt in and quality?

2. Otherwise, I want the seats on the lowest sliders I can find. what is best?
From Rennline:

http://www.rennline.com/Planted-Alum.../PLA-PA90SM-G/

People talk about the aluminium mounts from Recaro, but I can't find them for sale anywhere. The only ones I can finds say they are for XL seats?

3. Is this the best seatbelt mounting bracket?

4. I would like the connector to be exposed close to the edge of the seat so you don't have to fish it down the side every time like in this thread. Does the Brey Krause anchor allow for that?

Thanks in advance.

As long as one of your seats has a slider and it's rolled all the way up, your kids should have no problem getting in the back. My 12 year old crawls in the back to clean my windows for me.

I used the factory RS seatbelt mounts, which are very similar to the BK mounts and my connector is exposed on the side of the seat.
The rennline sliders are as low as you're going to get with a slider.

Thanks guys.

I now have the seats in my possession. And I have 964 RS seatbelt mounts.

So I need sliders and mounts. I'd still like to mount the driver seat to the floor. Any advice before I order something blindly?

I installed a Recaro SPG Profi XL to the floor using Brey Krause mounts and they worked great.

Here is the thread with some pictures that show pretty clearly how to mount the driver's seat belt receptacle without sandwiching it between the body and seat mounting bracket.

I like the solution bolting the receptacle mounts to to existing floor holes. 1/8 in to the seating height.

Anymore pictures of your seats? Looks suspiciously like Houndstooth, and I'm REALLY curious now.
