I posted a thread here a few days ago asking a similar question, But Unfortunately No one replied. Im interested in the custom brackets. :naughty:
If you are good with a welder you make them
or pay some one next to nothing to make them.
You use the passenger side seat cut the vertical part of the seat off the brackets using a sawzaw blade leaving the spring holder & upper sheat metel under the rivets attached.
Drill 2 holes slightly larger then the bolt shank diameter on one rebar 1/8" thick steel stake about 2 feet long 2" wide
Mount 2 of these steel stakes on centered on the bottom of the front & back of both sparco seats.
JB weld the seats centered furthest back on the brackets kind of where the factory seats end up.
Do this while the passenger seat brackets are bolted into the supra.
Allow to cure.
Next day gently unbolt the seat brackets from the car flip the seat gently onto the back unbolt the rebar beams off the sparcos.
While the JB weld tachs the 2 sets of metal beams together clean off the excessive JB weld that allow for welder to come into play.
Start welding between the two brackets while the JB holds them into place.
Do a professional job going all the way around each of the 4 contact points making them 1 solid a piece bracket.
Passenger side is a piece of cake!
Driverside
you have 2 options
US models have power seats on the driver seat
So you can buy a JDM seat and cut the brackets off from the bottom of the seat like the passenger side of a US model
or do what I did!
mount a passenger seat rail on the driver side!
You have to modify the front leg pegs
because they are staggered different
cut the two old driver seat front lower pegs off of the electric seat.
then cut the two front pegs off of a passenger set of rails.
weld the two automatic pegs ont the front of the passenger seats using a little jb weld again to tack them into place.
or if you protect or remove the carpet you can tach weld while in the car the finish the weld out of the car.
after you wel the two electric seat front pegs onto the passenger seat rails do the rest like the passenger side seat and enjoy!
I have recieved the rails free off a scrap supra with a junky interior sourced the 2 passenger seats free one was in the oem car.
4 rebar stakes are about $12
1 spool of weld 15$
tubes of jb weld 10$
so about 40$ and couple houres of time make it perfect!
