Rails and Subframes

[Tom 1.0]

can the rails be removed from the seat subframes, without rendering the slidy rail bit useless? so can i remove the seat and slidy bit but leave the subframe still?

i dont have my car with me and need a quick reply!

thank you,

tom

the frame can be bolted off tom. and you could cut the hinge/recline part off, or you can dismantle the sliding 2 halves (some ball bearings and plastic rods fall out tho )

i want to leave the frames in the car, so i can put some new rails on to those, so thats possible then? cool,

so how would i take them off? it sort of looks welded on looking at my mates? what sort of bearings lol

here,s a pic of mine with chunks cut out tom :wasntme:
if you cut away a notch at the back of the slider, you can slide the 2 halves apart, and the balls and plastic bits just make it slide easier

than you frank, i really appreciate that and get what you mean,

but i dont think i am really wording it properly...


um :s i dont know how to say it really lol

i have some cobras that i am trying to fit into the car. they are on runners and i want to replace the existing ones? so is it possible to do that?

 

[Tom 1.0]

like can i remove the runners by attacking these bolts?

 

[frank]

well..... if you separate the lower 1/2 (ie slide the top 1/2 off completely) you will have 2 rails that will bolt to your floor (with the 4 bolt brackets, but you will lose the seatbelt mount )
you could need to either weld your bucketseat rails to it, or weld the bucketseat frame to it

so i couldnt just remoe the old runners and bolt the new ones on?


anybody?

 

[Tom 1.0]

Either way there is welding involved, I sold my nodded frames to kenny and carnt remember, i'm shure the clubmans came on the runners and I just welded the frame to them.

 

[Tom 1.0]

ok thank you

so what parts need welding and where? do you have any pics i could use as a reference?

 

[micras69]

im shure i could route around for you....give me a day or 2 and i'll find out how i did it and give you a run through it
