Racing Seat Installation Help

Hi I have purchased a set of driving seats for the 8. I have removed the passenger seat for a test fit. I cannot see how to remove the original seat rails and seat belt stalk mount from the original seats.

Does anyone have any tips on how this can be achieved. Alkternativley is it best to buy another ste of seat brackets from Mazda for the driving seat to make change overs easier?

Any help and photos greatly appreciated.

As far as I know, you need to get rails that *works* with Rx-8.

Some seats company made a set of rails. You cant just take the seat off and expect your new seats to work with your stock rails.
