You can see bracket and sliders here. I actually cut the tabs shorter on the front of the sliders so I could use the bottom mounting holes.



The tabs on the sliders bolt to the ends of the tubes on the top of the bracket.

As far as the airbag light goes..On the driver's side all you have to do is remove the seat posistion sensor from the stock seat and leave it plugged in. Just make sure it won't contact any metal.

Then just jump the airbag connector with a 2 ohm resistor. No airbag light for me and I've had my recaro in for about 3 months now. You can read more about my install here.

The passenger seat is much more complicated as far as airbag sensors. I didn't put a seat on the pass side.

DO whatever you need to do to get Recaros in your Fit!!! Makes a huge difference.
Couldn't find a thing about the passenger seat, I would assume that the airbag would be the same as the driver's seat, but there are two other sensors in the passenger seat you would have to find solutions for.
