russ78 Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Probably been asked a million times before but do ep82 seats fit ep91 seat bolt pattern ?some people say yes some people say no some people say with slight modification it will fit so i wanna either confirm the myth or end the myth Cheers Quote
Socks Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Nope... The vertical bracket that goes near the handbrake is different... The remaining three are the same however! Quote
Mike@TD.co.uk Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 You can make them fit, but they're not direct replacement no. Cheers Mike JonesTuning Developments Ltd Quote
russ78 Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 So Is it just the one bracket ? Can it be moved to fit without rewelding or can the bracket be redrilled to fit it ? Quote

StuDoc 72 Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Yeah buddeee and the art of gentle persuasion Quote
russ78 Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 Does it need to move much ? Couldn't you just redrill a new hole or open it out a little ? Quote
rmsnoel Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Just cut off the locating pins under the ep82 seat rails then screw the four bolts in little and then tighten them all up. Straight forward...10minute job Quote
griffo20022 Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Hey guys sorry to bring up an old thread. I bought some GT for Jess' s Starlet the seatbelts on the GT were bolted to the floor rather than the seat unlike the SR where the buckles are on the seat. The buckles from the original seats wont go onto the GT seats. Anybody else come across this problem?? Quote
daniel_g Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Are they MK1 GT seats, school tie diagonal pattern ? I had that issue when i put them in my old MK3, i just used harnesses instead of seatbelts. Suppose you could source some MK2/3 seat rails with the seatbelt mounting points and then swap them onto those seats. I'm having similar issues just now putting GT seats in my 85. Quote
griffo20022 Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Not too sure what year GT they came from. I would have used Harnesses but Jess doesnt like them lol! Yer that might have to be the case I think. Doh should have researched more lol! Quote
daniel_g Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Chuck up a pic and i'll tell you what GT they came from. Quote
griffo20022 Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 I managed to sort it I adapted a spacer and a longer bolt to mount the buckle on the rear rail bolt on the side Quote
daniel_g Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Good stuff I finished one of my seats to, ended up retrimming the bottom half of an 85 seat in GT trim and using the GT upper back section aswell, so i dont have pikey up any rails etc, it all bolts down as it should, well chuffed lol Quote
griffo20022 Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Welldone dude trim changes can be a right ballache so fair play haha! I was p*ssed for a bit thinking id need to sell the seats n what not! Panic over though haha! Quote
