mcbrat Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 seat came out of a 1992 Ford Escort GT like this one.... http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/1671/1801/29175900008_large.jpg all I had to do was narrow the hole distance on the soob ea81 rails, by maybe 1/8" and they bolted right on, with the soob fasteners.... much more comfortable.... and no piece of metal poking me in the back anymore....

BEECHBM69 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I found out seats all the way up to at least 99 Escorts will fit. The rails seem to be the same on all of them ( I looked at a bunch,) but the GT seats have the nice bolsters and such. Thanks to this board and the search feature, got new seats for $50, and thirty minutes of my time. Side by side comparison tells the tale. Much better support. These are probably comparable to what's found in a Mazda Protege of the same era. The difference being, there were a dozen Escorts, and one Mazda. Happy hunting.

Turbone Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I wanted something a little more stylish/sporty with more adjustments. I picked up a pair of Mitsubishi Eclipse (turbo) seats for $25 total. I have a pair of these seats (N/A) in my Brat and love them. BUT, as the EA81 and EA82 are quite different, the install was more complicated in the RX than Brat. A lot more cutting and welding to make the rails work and the seats to sit correctly. It took me 2+ days to fab everything, but it was worth it in the end.

Mykeys Toy Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 The seats in your brat actually resemble brat seats too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainierBeer Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Those look good! I think that will be in my near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
