Default Sapphire Cosworth Leathers

ok...ive read about some people putting saph cos leather recaros into their turbos...now i can imagine the front two cant be too hard to fit but what about the rear?

what someone said is that they wont fit and there is no chance....but in a previuos post it has been said that they will fit but they will be over the plastics..

anyone done this?? is there any specific way of making them fit?? im doing it to a s1 so im presuminng its the same for a s2 right??

cheers

font seats have a wider base so prob need welding onto an escort base. rears fit in ok, bit tight, ends bend up slightly but fit with a squeeze

Zilcho, apart from elecy window buttons, but the S2 ones might plug onto where they connect on the S1? maybe, maybe some clips aswell? oh iirc theirs a metal bracket might need puttin on the door for S2 arm rest on door car to screw onto, not 100% sure tho.
