Yes! And are they new or used (don't think Recaro makes that style anymore)?

Thanks. I ended up buying a kit from a guy locally who sell them.

Ok so here's an update while I wait for the Seatbelt stuff and Wedge seat brackets. I found a solution to using my Evo E-brake handle with center console. Its from GKtech. Here's a little mock up video demonstrating how it will work. It has an inline Wilwood MC which is pretty sweat. Console sits right over it and its hidden from anyones view. Please excuse the crude look of it. Its just mocked up. I need to add some spacers to level it up.

So no cables will be used? Do you splice that m/c into the single brake line to the rear? Basically a line lock.

I couldn't use the cable like I planned with the T3 set up that came with my brake kit. The cable when attached to the caliper was making contact with my face bolts on the wheels. Also the mounting bracket for the cable on the caliper stuck out to far. Yes splice it in. You can call it line lock. The hole point to this was to utilize the EVO handbrake with the console. And if you wanna slide you have the capability if thats your thing. It looks clean with the console on. So im happy.

Got the carpet kit ,wedge brackets and sliders for my Recaro seats. The seat belts should be in this week too. Im planning on installing this stuff this Saturday. So photos and videos to follow. I did find a problem trying to adjust my turbo blanket spring. The turbo drain tube was leaking at the flange and weld. Glad I found it before I actually drive this thing. Would have been a fire for sure. Turns out when I welded the bracket I might have slightly warped the flange. As far as the cracks concerned I did have to add slight bend to the tube after welding it. Pretty sure thats what did it. Turbo and lines are already removed. Just have to install the new oil flange gasket and button it up and should be good to go. I also have to make some brackets for the EVO console to have it securely mounted in place. Im gonna use rivnuts for sure just not sure on what to use for the actual brackets. Either way progress. Here's a photo of my fuse box mounted under the drivers side of the dash. I don't believe I have a photo of this yet.

Also re-installed the fixed turbo drain. So made some good progress. Seats are just mocked up. I have to install carpet before I tighten everything up.
