Aftermarket bucket seats into a bench seat car- concerns and considerations?

so the OEM plates are there for a reason. Good to hear that you fixed yours!

which Recaros are you running? What seat tracks?
Mine is a bench car.
Only reinforced at outside ends.
They came in BMW's, but these were bought aftermarket for a 84 Mitsubishi 4x4 with bob Baker fenders, suspension, wheels, torsen lockers.
I used the the brackets from the truck and they worked fine. They have a footprint of about 2 1/4" x 2".
The drivers seat has a leg extension cushion you lift and pull out a couple inches to support the knees/legs on long trips.
Lumbar adjustment knobs, adjustable head rests....and when you take a turn.... you dont move, you're planted/hugged by the seat.
I had challenger high back buckets in it for a time...
All those did was let me slide or roll off the seat , having to reposition myself constantly.
