RX 8 Seats In An SVT Focus

I have an 04 SVT Focus and was curious if anyone here knows if the RX 8 seats(front) would bolt up to brackets in the SVT. The stock SVT seats blow.

I doubt it, on a GT optioned 8 the bolt patterns are not even the same ( drv / pass ). The attached photo is of a custom seat bracket I got from Wedge Engineering to install a Kirkey racing seat I use on track days. I think you can make out the where the boltholes are, does the holes on the SVT seat even come close?

Definately not talking about the Recaros out of the Euro edition. I've tried getting my hands on a set of those...nearly impossible.

on my flight to South Africa I noticed the plane seats on South African Airways were made by Recaro...interesting eh?

as for putting the seats in the SVT?

for G-d's sake they have rotary symbols in the seats...unless you've installed one of Dr. Wankel's children in your Fjord SVT then u should pass on this idea
