Looking for a set of lotus elise s1 seat rails, just purchased a pair of corbeau seats to discover that the standard rails don't fit

Any help would be appreciated

you can get brackets to add to your Vx subframes to make them fit I think I got them from elise parts for mine

It's like the vx220 seat rails are too narrow, the s1 rails fit the width of the seat but the bracket under the seat needs modifications

How do you fit these? Do you cut off the current plates and weld these on?

At this point I'm thinking I need a set of S1 seat rails.. :(

Had then for about a year, but the cars been in pieces so haven't even thought about fittings them..

Annoyingly I think I was under the impression I already had S1 rails.. I don't.. 😟

I'll run them for a bit if you want. Just to test them out/get them run in.

Right, I went to the shed to investage what drivers frame I had as I had a sneaky thought I didnt have origianl VX seat frames... So I've had a look and still none the wiser, any thoughts as they dont quite match with any of them.

 

IMO closest to S2 Elise Frames..

VX220 Seat Frame - But for a LHD car, so this would be mirrored though the centre line I believe

Thoughts?
