    will they fit from any galant/legnum n/a or TT or do i need to track one down from a scrap V6?

    Front seats, all Galant/Legnum variants are interchangeable. Differences with the seats themselves include electronics adjust and heat and airbags.
    1997 Mitsubishi RVR HSGR : 2.0 4G63T, 4 seats and the seating position from a truck
    2009 Ford Mondeo : 2.2TDCi, 4 wheels, some plastics, some metal and some seats

    my front seat doesnt adjust since kwik fit broke it. i can just go to a scrap yard and pick up a rail from any 8G galant and replace my broken item?

    Yep, but splitting the rail from the seat is tough. It would be easier to try to locate a whole new seat.

    I thought the vr4 ones were different to all the n/as due to the tunnel for 4wd?
    Possibly the only VR4 that was driven by the current owner before being registered..... & it's a UK car

    No, I have had UK spec V6 seats in the VR4. So they definitely fit.

    The carpet layout is a little different though due to the tunnel

    that will be kwik fits problem. they broke it, they fix it! they can knock the cost off the bill when they do my front brakes or winter tyres if i get them there. nearly £400 for budgets seems a bit steep so i will see what they quote for mid range and a more common size than stock V6 tyres.

    you cant separate the rails from the seat without destroying the seat, you'll have to find a complete replacement,

    only the recaros have removable rails
