Hey,
This seems to be a common issue here. So I figured I'd share what I did. These are to adapt a set of Recaro LX-C seats into my '87 Camaro. The Camaro uses a 13.5" wide and 14" long slider setup. I believe this size is common to many other GM vehicles.
These are made from 1/4" 7075 T6 aluminum. If you want to make your own, its up to you do determine the correct material and thickness. I am NOT responsible for anything that happens if someone decides to use my design. It is NOT intended to be copied, these are for REFERENCE only.
For the correct result, make sure you print this on 11x17" or larger paper with NO SCALING. Use the provided standards to verify the scale of the print out.
I am considering adding a stiffener for extra stiffness.
On thing I should add is that of my two Recaro seats. One had 6mm mounting holes and the other had 8mm holes. The mounting bosses are the same, so I drilled and tapped the 6mm holes out to 8mm. The brackets have hole sizes assuming 8mm holes. Also, the Recaro mounting holes are supposed to be 16" apart, side to side. One of mine was about 1/32" over 16" and the other was about 1/32" under 16". So make sure to measure your seats and adjust your holes accordingly.
