Naw, I wouldn't be at that now! Not safe at all, and I value the fact I can still breath! :lol: | |

ha ha, yeah you can't - don't be tempted to put the harnesses down to the front of the rear seat or floor behind the front seat like some do - it's not safe! | |

The worry would be whether you've got the clearance required for the seat to be able to tilt, i.e. the top of the bucket seat might foul on the roof because it's too tall, meaning not enough room to get in the back | |

you can get tilting subframes, just two layers of flat bars with a hinge in. obv these aren't corsa ones but you get the idea: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tailored-Tilting-Seat-Subframe-Runner-Kit-Pair-For-CLASSIC-MINI-/170852525469?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27c79aa59d#ht_646wt_1176 | |

Oh aye, it's the backs of the seats that tilt in a corsa. Thinking of just leaving them as they are and stripping out the back now! | |

The standard ones don't tilt. | |

How do you mean suitable subframes? Can the standard ones not be used? | |

Only if you can find suitable subframes and I would think something that complicated is going to make the seat sit quite high. | |

On corsa b sub frames? I've a mate who's offering me a set of seats out of his rally car to me for a seriously cheap price, one I can't refuse! And I'd like to put them in my new B. |
