muddyell Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 I bought some bucket seats a while back and still havent fitted themI tried taking subframes off old seats to see if they would fit although i already kinda knew they wouldnt lol Anyway while i was taking subframes off it occured to me that the seat belts are attatched to standard subframesSo......Where can i get subframes from? And what can i do about the seat belt? Quote
Pandamonium Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Hi mate,I know with nanglebadgers car that the sub frames are just universal ones, that have to be made up and welded together, and came from the local car mod shop for £15. As for the seat belt, I take it you mean the seatbelt socket, it has actually bolted onto the pivot for the back rest. If yours is a full bucket, then the socket should attach to sub frame for the seat.Hope that helpsMark Quote
muddyell Posted October 10, 2007 Author Posted October 10, 2007 Cheers dudeDont suppose you can get me some of those subframes could you if i send the money over to you?So i would need to get the seat belt socket welded to the subframe yea~? Quote
Pandamonium Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Ill talk to Phil when he is back later and look at his subs, 1 is corbeau and one isnt yet they are both the same. Off the top of my head i cant remember if there is a mount for the socket or not, would make life easier if there is. Ill let you know how i get on, im off to look at pics lolMark Quote
Nanglebadger Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 mine are both universal but if i recall cost £55 not £15 lol from both carnoisseur and my local mod shop. neither of them is a corbeau sub frame, they're both some random British subframe that can be got from carnoisseur. they are similar but not identical to the cobra ones on the followin linksubframesPhil.

SiCaln Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 i had Cobra seats and used their universal subframes on them then welded the legs off of standard seats to the base of the frame Quote
Pandamonium Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Im almost certain the 1 from MSS was only 15 cause there was a big difference in the price.Is there a mounting point for the socket phil or do i need to check when i get home?mark Quote
Nanglebadger Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 both buckle clips are mounted to the seat man!Phil. Quote
Sparky Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Just get some harnesses, SORTED!!!! My first seats had seperate clips but my new standard seats have them built in Quote
Pandamonium Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 My bad, subs now 35/40 quid so you would be safer just ordering from your local shop as by the time p+p is added would end up costing more.Yea harnesses would solve the prob. My cobra subs had a wee bracket to mount the seatbelt clip to, Phils dont have anything, doesnt seem to be a standard layout.Sorry bout thatMark Quote
YoungStig Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Do the aygo seats fit in cause they cool Quote
Liam_D Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Most seats fit i think mate, it just you need to custom make the subframes. I could be wrong though. Quote
RobSR Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Most seats fit i think mate, it just you need to custom make the subframes. I could be wrong though.thats pretty much right mate! rich (scuth0) has fto seats in his (i think rob bower also does aswell, but may be wrong), also someone has mr2 seats in theirs....Rob Quote
Liam_D Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Thought i was right, it summit i'm looking at getting so i've been researching. Yeah Rob Bower does have FTO seats, that where Sctuch got the idea from i think. Quote
rob_bower Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 mine were only £10 though and have rear seats to match Quote
