Seats rails to suit recaros

I have sourced one recaro seat and i know that you need to have seat rails to suit different cars to install the recaros. So any ideas where to find the seat rail to have the recaro installed in the mini ? Or even some place in sydney to have the rails modified to have the recaros installed.
Do i need an engineers certificate also ?

Hi,

I have cobra seats, and bought special adapter parts with the seat that allow fitment to the stock rails, including sliding assembly. Revolution don't sell recaros, but you should try a shop that does eg repco, and see what they have.

Technically you do need an engineers certificate if you have changed the seat from OEM, but 99% of people don't bother.

Cheers

Robbo
