	Naw, I wouldn't be at that now! Not safe at all, and I value the fact I can still breath! :lol: So I think I'll just take the back seats out and attach the harnesses to the rear seat belt mounts. Cheers folks!

	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!

One thing I did neglect to figure out, how am I meant to attach the harnesses without removing the back seats? :facepalm:

	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?
Ian	posted on 21st Aug 12 at 01:37
	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. Looking to keep the back seats in so need them to tilt forwards, is this at all possible?
