Mazaspeed 3 seats installed

This process takes some time. About 6 hours
1) Remove passenger seat. Keep bolts and grey covers. Can be reused . On MS3 remove brackets 4 bolts each side
2) Place MS3 seat in location. Bolt back left glide into position. This is just for test fitting.
3) Take P5 place on work table. Remove front seat brackets/ This requires some work. Spot weld drill bit
4) When removed (Left and Right) Use grinder to remove paint on them and MS3 seat glides
5) Re bolt brackets in P5 . Place MS3 seat in location. This will allow to line up brackets with tracks
6) Use welder to do spot welds. Remove seat and do complete welding on all sides of brackets.
7) Need to weld plate to back right of MS3 glides. This will allow new bolt location. Paint
8) Paint to give finished look.
9) Install passenger seat. Test working of seat. Might need to add some grease for smooth operation.
10) Next step Drivers seat

To install drivers side repeat steps. Only difference is that the driver front seat bracket MS3 is spot welded. So you need to work a bit harder.
The best thing is that the back hole location on the MS3 glides is a direct fit. Here is picture with both installed
