j4ffa Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 not much really i can see two ways either get metal plates welded on to the seats to make em fit in my holes or cut off what i need off mine and then weld to subframe i had a little sit in them and with me being a large lag they felt lovley cant wait to get em in then just gota sort out the door cards as there out of a 3 door not 5 like mine ohh well never mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j4ffa Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 right peeps i had a go today in fitting seats only managed to do one i know lazy lol but was hard got 2 meter long bars of metal from b-n-q and cut down to what sizes i needed got the seat fitted in but took it out for a drive and started to wobble a bit so ended up taking it out and putting old one back in for now getting dad to go to garage tomorro to seee if he can cut the subframe off old seats and weld to new so would be more stirdy heres a few pics let me know what u think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Good idea! The first thing i thought of aswell.. But, I think I'm just getting some long, small 3mm thick metal plates, make 2 full "strips" to fit the holes in the chassis, then just weld the new seat on top of these, as the frame is to short compared to the holes in mine... I will also post some pics. Not sure if I can get it done today or tomorrow, but it will be done. Seats look nice btw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
