Find yourself a set of DC2 / ITR recaro seat rails.
You will find that when attempted to bolt the rails to the seats, that only one bolt lines up on each side, you simply just have to drill a extra couple of holes in the DC2 rails, bolt them down. BOOM flush fit.
I'll upload some pics of what I did.
Basically, the front bolt holes line up perfectly, after lining them up and bolting them in a little bit, you can finally mark up where you have to drill the extra hole needed to secure the rail to the seat.
There is also a part you have to grind down to make the rail sit inline too, which is shown in one/two of the pictures below.
Lining up the front, you'll find you have to grind out/off some metal. I used some sort of file to do this.
You can now line up the hole needed to bolt in the rail securely
Boom DONE
If I remember correctly, the front part of the rails, when full extended out, as long as they are inline with each other, you will have near enough perfect fit into your EG.
Hope this makes some sort of sense, any more questions just ask.
