    Recaro make a Patrol mount.

    I have Stratos suspension seat in my GU Patrol Ute and the mount they supply with the seat is made by Recaro... just bolts straight in.

    Took me all of 30 minutes to pull the old seat out and put the Stratos in...

    Indeed there are a few rail options for 'standard' and 'suspension' seats as the suspension base needs to sit lower

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    Was it this mob? http://www.idealseat.com.au/

    If it was then try for Autotechnica Rail Kits or perhaps give a Stratos Dealer a ring.
    Stratos happily do their seats but use Recaro rail kits for whatever reason

    I have bought Recaro rails in the past no problems at all and they are all over Ebay etc (but no Patrol ones lately) but maybe they have changed policy

    ARB also sell them from Ideal seats and I am pretty sure they won't have the same hesitation.
    Between Patrols ATM. Had a beaut GU with 6.5 Chev TD. Next is a GU ute with a 4.5 litre Cummins conversion and a camper on the back.
