Recaro A8, rails/brackets help needed.
Hi,
I bought Recaro A8 seats some time ago and now I have plan to install them to my 964. Seats came without rails/brackets:
I find one install topic on 993 side and what I've understood so far, I need separate rails and brackets. Since the brackets are bit hard to find I notice that FVD has these:
If I use following rails, do I still need brackets? If yes, what is the difference with these rails except price?:
If somebody who do this already can help me to find proper stuff.
Thanks for the help.

First obvious thing to think about is the seatbelt receptacle anchor, that seems missing on the 2nd slider set pictured. Otherwise the A8 bolt hole spacing matches the 964 seat's and body shell's so you should be OK.
Beyond that, you will have to check carefully in the back. I have an A8 that I can not use in my 964, because the set recliner **** touches the (widening towards the rear) center tunnel, preventing me from sliding the seat backwards enough.
If you are under 180cm, you should be OK. 185? forget it.

Thanks for the answer George. Height issue is not valid to me. So the first rails should be enough that I can install these seats to my 964?
How about you, what rails/brackets you was using?
