Hi guys,

having likely the same problem then bennyboy. Any thoughts how to fix Mk6 front seats in to an Mk5b? The runners are totally different not matches with the floor bracket.
Many thx for any help.

the mk6 seats should fit in the mk5b no problem, i have fitted mk5b recaros in my mk6 no issues at all. you got to remember the top hats are bolted in the mk5b and i think in the mk6 they are welded in.

Hi Sleeman,

many thx for quick answer. The main problem is that my car production year 1992. Around 1993-1994 it was a floor bracket change so Mk5b Escorts before that year came with Mk5 floor bracket after that year with Mk6 floor bracket. So mine is an Mk5 floor bracket one and I think yours is with an Mk6 floor bracket. This why you didn't have problem to fit in.
