Default installing 2013 mustang recaros in a 99-04 GT?

Has anyone here managed to fit 2013 Mustang Recaro seats to a 99-04 GT? What was the process like? Is it the same as trying to fit regular S197 seats to the 99-04 GT? Do the seat rails need to be removed and the 99-04 ones welded in?

Do you know the name of the adapters or what to search for? I tried looking them up but I cannot find anything.

I tried to search up the item # using the # you provided, but it is coming up as invalid.

would you be able to copy/paste the actual link to the auction? thanks.

Found this - these must be the same as the adapters you speak of:

I just found their ebay ad - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-Mustang-SEAT-ADAPTOR-adapter-bracket-PLATES-1999-2000-2001-2002-2003-2004-/251248014496?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a7f8c74a0

Seems expensive. I am thinking of mounting the SN95 rails to the SN197 seat. However, they will need about a 1" spacer front and rear.

Look at the crappy design of these brackets! the holes look to be 1/5 of an inch from the edge and the fact that they are welded together doesnt give me any feelings of confidence. Someone should buy these and trace a measurement of them and CNC some one piece brackets, then return them back. Lol. For that price they should be billet, or at least one piece and quality... Dont want them ripping off when in a car acccident. http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/1/6/3...3390653_tp.jpg
