Sw20 seats in an 86?

[Ae86-George]

So I am buying a trueno I found in a barn by my house. But the sr5 seats need to go.
My brother has some stock sw20 seats he will give me.

My question is what do I have to do for these to bolt in?

Remove the SW20 seat rail with grinder and hack saw, then custom make new rail tabs end weld it to fit the AE86. The two generations of cars are rather apart and style will be sort of strange though, especially to a Toyota aficionado who can tell instantly where the seats came from and is a mismatch.

Yeah I figure it will look weird. But I am just looking to see how hard it is, before I start looking at pretty.

No harder than doing most other seats since they both mount to a relatively flat floor and aren't excessively electric, and also, do not have occupancy triggers like modern cars.

I'm pretty sure 3 of the 4 bolts line right up. One needs a pretty tall spacer welded to the SW20 track (I think inside rear IIRC -- maybe outside rear....). I've done it -- Now that's for a TE72, but I'm pretty sure AE86 seats bolt right in a TE72.... So....
