Subaru seats on GT rails

[patman]

Hello guys I have just managed to get a pair of Subaru seats still on there own rails, is there a safe way or write up somewhere or people have done it, to put the Subaru seats on the GT rails or have the Subaru seats and Subaru rails to fit like the starlet GT starlet rails, I know people might say to buy the actual rails to fit, but as always am looking for ways to save money, hope this all makes sense and appreciate the help.

Thanks Pat

Subaru seats bolt in to the GT In 3 of the 4 places. You need to weld tabs on the front of the rails nearest the centre consol on both seats as it doesn't line up with anything. I have them in mine

Wow that is bloody fantastic rota boost mate thankyou so much for that info, there's me thinking it could be a nightmare but knowing I can just leave the Subaru seats on there own rails and 3 holes fit perfect and just sort the forth hole out like you said is definitely less headache thankyou mate this is really appreciated

Thanks pat

Oh I'm not sure Colin mate a family member had them stored away for ages to use in an off road jeep but doesn't need them anymore is there any code or numbers etc on the rails to tell?

Looking on line my ones are from a Subaru Impreza Wrx 92-01 model 4 door saloon

These are not my actual ones below but they are the same model colour etc

I've the same. Sure it came out of a 2000 special edition or something along those lines.

Thanks John for the reply was it the same as what rotaboost said with yours everything fits apart from the one tab in front nearest to console

Not sure mate, I just cut the feet off the gt seats, welded two flat bars across the width of the seat to mount the feet onto. Granted doing it this way raises the seat slightly but it hasn't bothered me as I'm not the tallest of blokes 😅

That's a good idea aswell John thankyou

[patman]

Update on these seats: bolted the 2 rear feet into the holes then had to chop the 2 front feet off, then lined it up with the 2 front holes with the rails then a very good strong weld. On each front feet, so basically your chopping off the 2 front feel and moving them back a few inches

pics please

Give me a bit of time Colin mate they have been done just sitting down mates unit should be getting them on at weekend so will take pics as I clean them and put them in 👍🏻

[patman]

Still not fitted yet, should be in the next week or two as can't get there due to time and work, I'm gonna be putting my own seat belt clips on, these ones haven't got any on, I'm hoping the bolts which hold the seat belt clips on the GT seats are the same size bolt holes on the Subaru seats

I've got Starlet belt clasps on my Scooby seats Patman.

Thanks for the reply John did you use the bolts out of the starlet seats mate to hold the seat belt clips on the Subaru seats thanks mate

[Johnboy GT]

If I'm being completely honest I can't remember but I'd imagine I would have used the subaru bolts but I can't be 100%.

That's ok John mate thankyou anyway, I will give the starlet seat bolts a try as the Subaru seats I got didn't come with any
