most people end up having to make custom brackets for racing seats...

Yep we all make custom brackets but I have not seen one seat that will not fit in the MX3!

I heard somewhere that the escort brackets fit, is this true?

As colin said any aftermarket seats will need to be made custom, I had to custom my recaros they weren't exactly perfect but they fit.

Yep any bracket from the BG chassis or variant chassis including the Escort 90-96 will fit in the MX3... But you will still need a bracket to attach the seat bottom to the sliders of the original seat. :welder:

and the reason for that is because the stock sliders/brackets are uneven

Yep sits about an inch lower on the left side of the seat! So use an inch wide square steal tube to fix this and it sits perfect! :welder: I will take a pic tonight and show you.
