Default Seat subframe question (90 recaro's into mk3 fez)

got a set of half leather recaro's from my mk4 escort convertable here, and im thinking of using the front seats for my wee mk3 fiesta XRV.... trouble is, obviously the seat mountings are different on the convertable, is there any way of getting mk3 fiesta runners to fit directly onto these? or will i have to make subframes up to fit?

i need it to be safe enough to pass an MOT, so no just welding them to the floor preferrably!

cheers

no they dont, i tryed to fit some 90specs into my old xr2i and the runners where 30mm or so out on one side.

i used the fiesta runners then i cut some flat plate to take up the gap drilled some holes and bolted them up, passed its mot.
