Brey-Krause Seat Rails for R56

Does anyone know if Brey-Krause makes a set of side mount seat rails that work with the stock R56 brackets like they do for the R53? I looked on their site and they only indicate they have brackets for 2002-2006... guess I was hoping that it just wasn't updated.

Also, while I have your attention... does anyone know if the stock seatbelt mount is attached to the stock sliders or to some portion of the actual seat? I am adding a roll-bar, 6 point and some type of fixed back seats (probably some sparco's, but I haven't test fitted them to my butt yet so not sure exactly).

I e-mailed BK yesterday and they told me the following:

"Yes they will. But depending on what kind of sliders you have, you may need
to slot out one of the holes in the side brackets to have them fit.

If you have the manual sliders with the handle release on the underneath
inboard side, then they will fit the way they are. If you have the manual
sliders with the bar release that spans across the under side of the seat,
then one of the hole is just barely off, and you will need to slot it out
just slightly.

If you have the bar release slider, they are the newer style. We also have
a fire extinguisher mount that will be available very shortly for them as
well, part number R-2211"

So they will fit but you have to drill them out a bit :(

Also the stock belt receiver is mounted on the seat and the BK mounts will not allow you re mount this.

Check this thread for some other options:

Looks like we are alternating between posting in both these threads.... Thanks for the info, I just recently called Brey Krause and they had an R56 they were working on so he checked the fitment. I have already purchased and installed the mounts. I can confirm they fit with some minor dremeling required to slot the bolt holes.

Additionally, the brackets are thick enough that you can just drill a hole in them and mount the stock seat belt mount.
