Vehicle-specific LVVTA-compliant side mount / fixed-back bucket seat rail kit for fitting compatible aftermarket seats to the listed Volvo XC70 BB applications.
Availability: Some models are kept in stock, but special-order or out-of-stock options may take approximately 3–4 weeks for delivery.
Before ordering: please check your chassis code, seat brand/model, side bracket or side stay setup, mounting dimensions, side required and whether your vehicle has factory seat airbags.
Important: These rails are not currently confirmed as compatible with Scarles or NZKW seats. Adapter solutions are in development; please contact us before ordering for these seats.
Vehicle and chassis fitment
This listing covers selected Volvo XC70 BB side-mount rail applications. Choose the chassis / rail option that matches your vehicle before selecting a fitment package.
| Chassis / model code |
Rail / seat-height option |
| BB |
Side Mount approx. ±0mm |
Seat-drop figures are approximate and are relative to the original seat where supplier data is available. Final seat height can vary with the seat model, mounting holes, spacers, side brackets/stays and installation position.
Side mount / fixed-back seat type
This listing is for side mount / fixed-back bucket seat rail applications. Side-mount seats bolt through the side of the seat shell using compatible side brackets or side stays.
If your seat is a reclining or bottom-mount seat that bolts from underneath, use the separate bottom-mount rail listing where available.
Seat compatibility guide
Side-mount rails are designed for fixed-back bucket seats using compatible side brackets or side stays. Many common full-bucket seats are supported, but the final fitment depends on the seat shell, side bracket/stay design, mounting width and final seating position.
| Seat model / series |
Guidance |
| RECARO RS-G / TS-G / SP-G and selected full bucket seats |
Generally suitable with compatible side brackets or stays. Confirm the seat and bracket setup before ordering. |
| RECARO Pole Position |
Requires RECARO dedicated side stays. Confirm the side stay and seat fitment before ordering. |
| RECARO SP-GN Japanese specification |
Requires a spacer set because the front and rear mounting widths differ. Contact us before ordering. |
| BRIDE full bucket seats |
Confirm side bracket compatibility and mounting position before ordering. |
| Sparco / COBRA / OMP full bucket seats |
Confirm seat shell, side bracket and mounting dimensions before ordering. |
| Other fixed-back side-mount seats |
Contact us with the seat brand/model, side bracket details and mounting dimensions before ordering. |
Because side-mount seat shells and brackets vary, please contact us with your seat brand/model, side bracket details and clear photos or measurements if you are unsure.
Fitment package guide
Side-mount listings are intentionally kept simple because fitment is normally determined by the rail and the seat side brackets/stays rather than the bottom-mount spacer kits used for reclining seats.
| Package option |
What it includes |
| Rail only |
Selected rail only. Choose this when the seat does not require additional spacers, an adapter or an airbag/SRS canceller. |
Spacer note for side-mount seats
Bottom-mount spacer kits are not normally used with fixed-back side-mount seats. The known RECARO SP-GN Japanese-specification exception requires a spacer arrangement because the front and rear mounting widths differ. Do not select a bottom-mount spacer kit for a side-mount seat unless the setup has been confirmed first.
Unsure which setup you need?
Contact us with your vehicle chassis code, seat brand/model, side bracket/stay details and mounting dimensions. Clear photos of the seat and brackets are also useful for confirming fitment before ordering.
Airbag / SRS note
Some vehicles require an airbag/SRS canceller when a factory seat with a side airbag is removed. An airbag-canceller package is only shown where supported by the rail data. The vehicle, seat and final installation still need to be checked.
Installation and certification
These rails are supplied as vehicle-specific aftermarket seat rails intended for LVVTA-compliant installation in New Zealand. Professional installation is recommended.
Final seat position, side bracket/stay position, seatbelt mounting/operation, clearance, airbag/SRS requirements and certification suitability must be checked during installation.
Delivery and availability
Some options may be in stock. Special-order or out-of-stock rail options are typically supplied in approximately 3–4 weeks. Contact us before ordering if timing is critical.
