Default Recaro's in to a van?

How do rs2000 recaros fit in to a x plate escort 75 van? They dont fit straight in.
The frames are completely different and they cant be swapped from seat to seat.
Anyone done this?

Are the seats you've got mk5 seats as if they are they wont fit, Mk6 seats however will go straight in

ive seen people remove the seats subframe, bolt bars across the seats frame, then they can drill the bars to suite mk6 subframes if you get what i mean?
