Styling fitting bucket seats ?

[ycming]

Hi there people ,

What is the easiest + cheapest way to do it ?

Could i use original rail and something called Z-bar to bolt it on ?? like the following link

I am running of idea quick ~, so far i have a set of orginial seat rail to see what i can do with it, but not got far.

Any help would be appreciated.

cheer guys

Do you want the seats to be easily adjustable? If not the easiest way is, imo, fixed side plates. Adjusting the seats however is a spanner/ratchet affair.

well i need the sits to move forward and backwar, that's all, and would the link i shown be alright ??

But i don't get how the seats will bolt onto the subframe???

 

[StoneNewt]

Side plates aren't suitable then. iirc, sub frames are typically bolted to the runners and the seat to the sub frames.

So from what u r saying ? i can just buy the subframes (on the ebay link above).

1) bolt the subframe on the rails
2)bolt the seat onto the subframe ?

But where abouts do the seat bolt onto the subframe ? And do i need anything else apart from the subframes?

Cheers

Honestly I can't remember. As my partner an I have the seat in the same position I didn't pay much attention to sub frames etc after realising that.

Sorry.

Do you have reclining buckets or proper solid ones? If they recline, you can wind them forward and still get access to the rear, even on a fix subframe .... that is if they are not right the way back if you like 2 metres tall +.

how short are you?my shoulder was in line with the piller on the cinq so even kate moss would struggle

I'm not short, 178cm, and yeah, if they are fixed, then there is no chance in hell of getting past ! If you can recline them forward though, it isn't too hard.

Not done it on mine though, I still have stock seats at the moment. Buckets will go in with cage and harness after i get some more power in the front...obviously i won't have to worry a bout passengers

ycming- do you actually need to carry passengers? I have heard on the rumour mill that if you take the rears out you can save insurance costs...don't know if its true though

 

[ycming]

Right, they are not recline ones at all .... can only move them forward and backwards.

Does that mean i can use the e-bay item above??

And i am not 2 meters tall

picture is shown with runners attatched, these are NOT included in the auction but are available if you should require them, please mail me

Not sure if yours will work :S are probably best to email them.

TBH though, looking at the generic moutning holes on them, they look highly compromised! I certainly wouldn't trust it in a high speed crash

Also note;

auction is for 2 Z- Bars which is enough to mount 1 seat

So if you need two sets AND the runners, prices are going to get high.

your asking questions about a universal item.there cheap because they dont fit everything.up to you if you want to risk it im afraid as all seats frames are different.
or pay for proper subframes

 

[ycming]

cheers
