I have the correct mounts. R9222 and R9223.
What you need is the R9220. With the R9220, the holes will line up when shimmed correctly.
I'm speaking from experience, having used both (and why I have a set of the R9222 for sale).

Regardless I'm not about to buy another set of BK brackets, the quality is pretty meh. I might order a set of the German ones and see what they are like in comparison (not to mention cheaper).

CAD your own brackets! You can start with mine, the spacing of the factory mounting studs on the rails is correct.. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/c4...d0507e4eaa81d3‘02 332iT / 6 | ‘70 Jaguar XJ6 electric conversion

Does anybody happen to have a spare set of the black spacers for the outboard rail that goes between the rail/bracket?
My kit didn't come with them, have emailed and will call ECS about this as I can't proceed without them.

Looks like the reason is it's touching the slider "spring/detent box", I will likely have to clearance this somehow.

You could get some spacers from a hardware store and roll with them temporarily. It's literally just a painted/powder coated chunk of flat steel - they aren't tapered or otherwise special in any way.Build thread: Topaz Blue to Shark Blue

Thanks, may do washers to mock it up, inboard the brackets being at an angle really isn't great, shouldn't have to grind material from the rails and/or brackets to make that work.

Yea, it still would interfere, the bracket at an angle is the inboard side so it doesn't require the spacer according to the instructions.
Half tempted to try and see how they fit on my factory power sliders, but I went to a lot of work to get/clean/paint these manual sliders, I just hope they can send me something that works.
Don't want to have to modify the bracket or the rails either, shouldn't have to, feels like I bought a chinese ebay kit which is an unfortunate thing to say about BK stuff.2004 Silbergrau Metallic 6MT

The spacer is in the 2nd pic. Spacer is at the front of the seat rails (closer to the front of the car).

I am also having some pretty bad fitment issues on manual sliders, I had to cut away part of the slider to even get the bracket on the inboard rail.
Once installed I can get the front studs through the slider holes but the rears are way off, the distance between the mounting points on the rear is 1/2" wider than the fronts, same issue as mrgizmo04is having.
I can persuade the bolts into place but it's seems like way to much force/tension to have just built up on the seats all the time, don't want to crack them etc.
I ordered some E30 switchs, going to try the power sliders to see if fitment is any better..what a bummer.
