Recaro's in a Audi 90

["Harten, Eric" <HartenE@hanscom.af.mil>]

An update on my Recaro installation.  I finally managed to obtain a pair of
92' GLI recaro's for my Audi 90.  I am moving to Las Vegas and needed some
lighter cloth seats (not to mention more supportive).  They came with the
original Jetta brackets w/ power height adjust.  The only difference on the
passenger side was that I had to extend the outboard rear glide by 2 inches.
The front slide mount was identical.  I am still having problems with the
driver's side.  I have widened the rear slides as I did on the passenger
side, but as I had a power driver's seat, there is no manual front guide.
The power seat rails bolt directly to the floor.  The cars with manual
driver seats have a manual guide welded to the floor.  As I can not weld, is
there any way I can fabricate on of these front mounts?  I checked the ETKA
cd and found that they did have a factory Recaro seat bracket for the RS2.
I have also called every aftermarket seat manufacturer I know of, and none
of them make a bracket for the 1995 90.  If any body has any suggestions on
how I can make a SAFE front mount or where I can get a reasonably priced
aftermarket bracket please let me know.  OBTW, the new passenger seat is WAY
COOL.  I don't know why Audi never put seats like this in from the factory.
