Hi guys, have myself a couple of fixed back seats as per the title. I have side rails for them too. They can be mounted underneath and from the side.

So I am looking for a couple of Bride rails to suit. I'd like to maintain the ability to slide them back and forth since I am not the only one who drives. I've seen the Bride MO rails which look like they could be the go. Also seen the IG rails which looks the goods also but perhaps only lock on one side.

Anyone had any experience with this and know which rail is the best fit and why?

Cheers,

side mount using the sparco alloy brackets and then the bride rails to suit, I did have to drill new holes in the sparco bracket to meet the bride rail.

there are quite a few bride rails from what I can remember... and Im fairly sure I used the LF type... but I can check when I get home and have a look, Im sure it has a model sticker on them somewhere hopefully I dont have to pull it out to find out for you....

Awesome thanks mate. Yeah don't pull your seat out or anything... But if you manage to find out what model it is that would really help. I have the sparco alloy side mounts as well.

Do the ones you have lock in on both sides of the rail? Ie is it pretty solid when you move and then lock the seat in?

If you get a chance would be great to see a close up photo ( but only I it's easy for you )

Cheers

oh they are very solid, better than std

Yeah I can take some photos... be careful when mounting the seat, Ive mounted two sparco 2000 drivers seats now and the shoulder part of the seat sits very close to the door trim, and really consider using a full harness as the seat belt over the shoulder sits higher than normal (due to the seat) and can be a tad annoying, it'll be fine when you go harness though...

but sorry I couldnt find any marking to say which model it is... I do have a certificate of authenticity around somewhere, I'll see if I come across it...

You're a good man! Thanks for taking the time to do that. From the pictures it looks to me like its an Type-RX ?

Cheers for that - I'll look for some of those or the MO's as I think they should work too.

Yeah if you happen to find the cert -would be interesting to know.

Thanks mate.

haha! Bloody hell I hadn't even seen an SL-type.. so that's another one!

Have a look at this pic of the RX. Note on the right hand side (as you look at in the photo) it has that angled bracket similar to the one in your photo.

PLus it has the sort of 'twin' flat bar at the front like yours.

Bride RX type rail

I tell you what when I DO get one of these suckers I am going to do a thread on it.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
