hi, want to know if its legal and would work if i made some steel struts to go across my subframes to bolt my seats to them as they dont fit in the subframes provided.
cheers.
 
im not sure if its a case of legality its a case of strength and safety in terms of a crash hence why you buy subframes.
 
but my new seats dont have a "brand" there some look alike cobra bucket seats from macro, i was thinking of putting the struts from one side of the frame to the other and bolting it down in the given holes and letting it extend off slightly either side to allow for bolting the runners to the edges, theres not much of an overhang just a few CM's.
 
dunno id ask a mechanic then... and youd have to worry about insurance too, as long as they will insure you even though you have make shift subframes I guess your ok.

macro rocks btw
