Default HELP! I need a seat base to fit my Recaro..

My Drivers side seat is fucked, need a new base for it pronto so if anybody has one spare I can buy off them I'd really appreciate it. I've been told a passengers side seat base will do the job.. It's out of my Escort so I'm unsure as to whether or not a fiesta seat will fit, can anybody confirm either way?

My seats are trimmed in leather, I'm literally only after a base, not interested in a full set etc..

A couple of pictures of the fucked base to give a idea of what I need..







Sorry about the shitty pictures.

Thanks in advance!

Big-Dan.

i do have some in my shed
but i think you are better off getting a cheap seat locally or welding that one
i refirb recaros and when i strip em they all have broken welds so i weld every broken one then a few more bits to keep it solid

The runners are also no good on the base above else I'd of just had them welded back on. don't weld myself either so I figure it might be cheaper to buy another seat/base instead..

Will any MK4 Escort seat base do? Are any other Ford seats the same base?

Hope fully somebody will know, might be worth me giving Paul @ NYS a call in the morning to ask the question.

That's good news, I remember how shitty it was for me last Xmas without a secure income, hope to never be in that situation again.
