seatbase recaro seats defender
Are there some Recaro Cross Sporster CS owners with pictures of their seatbase (bottom attachment)? It seems i got Recaro seat runners with it but they are only placing the seats higher which results in less room. Any help appreciated!

Looks like you have aftermarket ones not the genuine LR recaros

correct they are the normal recaro sportster cs ones (i edited the post now). But i can't seem to find pictures of the base Sad they seem misplaced now almost touching doors and higher then old seats. I like the seats but hope they gave wrong base.

I found adapters online and this one:


I hope someone overhere has better pictures so i can tell our Recaro dealer there are better mounts for Land Rover.

Looks like I see two more holes above on the frame? If it's the same at the back, maybe it's possible to cut a bit off so you can mount it at the holes above? This way your seat will get to sit lower for more space.

Recaros should mount on the original Land Rover seat runners with the right subframe adapters. Here are mine mounted on Mud rails.

Speak to Alive Tuning, Twisted Performance, or TMD Land Rover to get the right subframes.
