I've done a fairly good search for some rails to bolt a pair of Aerotech seats into an 80 series, but keep coming up with dead ends. I need to know if these items are still made, and if so where the bloody hell do i get them from?!

I was told Aerotech went out of business... You may have to adapt something else...

geez, thats not what i wanted to hear! Adapting them wil be a ig PITA, cos the 80 series rails have the seat belt attachment built in, which in turn bolts to the original seat

Hopefully someone here has a more satisfying answer for you... The question was asked about aftermarket seats for a troopy on EO some time back and recommended Aerotech. Several people chimed in and announced they were no longer... I had them and my step father has had a set in his troopy for ~10 years with no issue. Great seats, hope you work it out...

you may have to modify your exsiting seat rails to suit seat i am going though it at the moment in the gq autobahn have a universal ones but dont really suit 4wds due to most seat positions beingof the floor
hope that was some help
cheers

ones from recaro etc should work, I've been told they are fairly generic mountings.

Try ARB, they should be able to get in Paratus seat rails. I dont think there real cheap. But the ones I have seen for a GU looked very good and well made. Much better than the seat rails I got for my Aerotech seat. Which was an aerotech base also. I thought they where abit agricultral. I could have done a better job with a bit of time. But they where strong.
As for the seat it was good I was very happy with it and want another one. So its a bugger there out of bussiness.
