Quick recaro seat rail question...

[Rob350]

I'm pretty sure I know the answer but just want someone to confirm please.

 

I've got a recaro sr3 and just bought some recaro sliding rails for it.

 

Does the seat mount to the 'male" part of the slider? Or the wider "female" part?

 

Only reason I ask is I think you bolt the seat to the "male" part of the slider and the "female" part to the car but doing this means you push the handle down to slide the seat. Every car I've been in with sliding seats you pull the handle up to slide.

 

Also if by any chance anyone knows the size of bolts needed to mount the rails to the seat that would be great.

Should be obvious when you show the rails to the base of the seat, but yes: The bar should always pull up to you.

The holes on the rail don't line up with the holes in the seat so I'm going to have to drill my own

 

Here's a couple of pics of it both ways

That’s surprising if they’re both recaro tbh. But yeah, drill your own and do it that way.
