There are holes in the sliders that are meant for the bolts that secure them to the chassis. If you had asked I could have told you universal rails wont work Confused . Anyway, you could have someone weld some lips to the front so you can use the original mounting points, but it's also very likely that the width of the rails in the picture will need some adjusting.

A word of warning: bottom mounted bucket seats tend to end up really high in ae86's...also dont ruin your original seat mounts and adapt them to the bucket seats because this will also end up with a crappy driving position.

It might be worthwile to look out for some of those low ae86 specific seat mounts.

I wont destroy my original seat as they would be refurbish as I have my semi-bucket seat in my car.

Yeah you have told me once that aftermarket seat would be very high. I will look for other rails that would work and low as he can Tongue

You can use those rails just fine. They won't be high at all if you make them right. Look how the bride rails are made and copy those.

You just need someone who can weld.
