I know Bride seats offers a bracket that allows their rails to be used with Recaro buckets.

I'm running a Zeta III + Bride rail myself.

You are right.. but I am using side rail brackets..which are a touch wider than most.. I am pretty sure the bottom mounts are standard size... I will check it for you but it might be a bit..-8 outside.. and my garage isn't heated..

You may want to check the types of rails that Bride offers:

Depending on the size of your seat you may end up going with an "unconventional" seat rail.

The Bride rail for our cars more or less look like this:

I think there MIGHT be a way to turn off the passenger weight sensor through Toyota techstream software. More than likely it will still show a fault since it is not plugged in and will still show an open circuit

sry! another questions!! how did you get the weight sensor out? what does it look like?

im sry bro!! i swear this could possibly be the last question

It's a plastic pad pretty much. Covers the flat area on the lower seat cushion. You have to remove the lower seat fabric then separate it from the foam

Link shows how I did it.

This is the sensor. To get it out you need to remove a few hog clips on the stock seat cover and you can pull it out.

The covers on the recaros were harder to get off so I did not install it in the new seat. Instead I rolled it up and tucked it under the carpet of the pass seat. It turns the airbag on all the time and the seatbelt chime goes off. I had the dealer turn the sound off.

Thanks Alex.. thats helps alot.

This is the seat I have. I will check the mounting holes for the sidebracket.. should be standard.. problem I am having is the width that the brackets mounts to the sides.. and has smooth slider operation..

What seat is that? If it helps I'll take some pics and measurements of my rails this weekend.

Side mount seats will need to have rails that look like this:
(From Zilvia.net)


Two things come to mind:

1) width of seat, whether this will fit into the seat rail width (the brackets can only move so much)
2) distance between the two mounting holes on the side of the seat. Some seat brackets have slotted holes that can allow a variety of bucket seats to be used, some seat brackets don't have this option.

There is a third option: using a Bride/Nagisa/Buddy Club/etc rail, and fabricating your own L-bracket.

Either way I'll get the measurements and post them for reference this weekend.

Id like opinions on no name seats ?

Nothing like a bride rip off with bride fabric. Just a black bucket seat

So to access the passenger weight sensor i'll have to rip apart the passenger's seat?

The ones I am using is on the left. But even with max adjustment.. the sliders don't fit correctly to floor of the car...the sliders are Pinched limiting movement.. so the side rails themselves will need more adjust to go wider to accommodate the seat itself. more "Z" to be able to actually mount the seat to the car..then there's the narrow tunnel on the 86 limiting the size of seat you can actually put in, for full range of adjustment...

Hope that made sense..

i think so! but we need a pro to chime in. So, without the sensor, whats gonna happen? malfunction? no pass airbag?

In comparison to stock how is seating height? I realize stock is adjustable but trying to get an idea. What height are you and what's your impressions this far on this seat comfort wise etc....
