Pete Posted April 22, 2003 Author Share Posted April 22, 2003 Is the tensioner to do with the seatbelts or the seats themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted April 23, 2003 Author Share Posted April 23, 2003 So, what your saying is, if the subframes are for a mk6 Escort, they should have a plug for the tensioners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk6 Si Ross Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 little yellow plug down the right hand side of the drivers seat, cant miss it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sortedford Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 if there for a mk6 they will have the bit to unbolt the bit the belt pulkgs into from your old seat and bolt to the new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 23, 2003 Author Share Posted April 23, 2003 the bit to unbolt the bit the belt pulkgs into Cheers Ian..........I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sime73 Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 ok, ill try to explain it a bit better cos were not doing very well r we ?? on the original seats, the seat belt stalk/pre-tensioner is fitted to the seats subframe by an allen bolt.to put new seats in you will have to remove this and fit it to the new seatif u get a mk6 subframe, like ian said, it should come with a fitting so this stalk can be bolted straight to itif u get a universal subframe, as i did, u will have to make a bracket for the stalk to fit it. dont forget though, u only need this stalk/pre-tensioner if you r using the original seat belt/airbag. is that any clearer cos i think i just confused myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
