Default More recaro questions

Are fiesta rs turbo recaros and the capri recaros the same? So if I was to swap them over would it be a straight swap or would I have to make up brackets?

Also are there any recaros that are the same as the fiesta rs turbo ones?

Too far for me to travel for them seats.

I know the runners are different but are the distances between the bolt holes are the same?

Are rs2000 recaros the same as fiesta rs recaros seats?

Pretty sure that most Recaros have the same bolt holes under the seat that the runners bolt onto, throughout a lot of the range.
