What do i need to know about Bucket Seats?

[GuyH08]

Right...i am looking at getting some bucket seats...
i have no idea about them :blush:

sooo anything i should consider? or anything i need to know?
and do i need to get a bracket to fit them?

thanks (Y)

guy, bear in mind that the seatbelt buckle is fixed to the seatframe , so that corner/mounting is critical !

 

[GuyH08]

oh yeh thats a good point....thanks frank

any other things to consider?

 

[squarepants]

cobra clubmans...the front 2 bolt holes line up and bolt stright onto the micra subframes well they did for me anyway the rear bolts need a plate welded onto the frame though so they bolt up.

 

[GuyH08]

thanks a lot mate
have you got any pics of yours?
and if you dont mind me asking how much did you pay?

i used a plate from a calibra to mount the back in, i still have the dimensions and everything if thats any use to ya. the pic of the subframe is showing the rear of the seat closest, and theres just 3 holes needed and the back of the image has the 2 holes that the seat will slot into like squarepants said.

I got the cobras for 150 with tha mounting brakets and the harnesses which was quite good, look on ebay, theres always ones going on there, scooby ones were 80 from the scrappy. hope that helps.

You'll be fine then Mine are rather snug and I'm hardly a porker - if you could get to say a GPR showroom etc and give some a try then that could save you a few quid.
