How the fuck did you manage it?

Looks like I'll have to remove the door pockets & possibly the door cards

There is room between but because of the tunnel bit for the exhaust they can't go any closer together

I should be going to see a guy at a welding place tomorrow & he's giving me a quote. Once the existing mount brackets are removed it shouldn't be too hard.


If needs be he can weld the fuckers directly to the floor

Are you mounting them on custom frames or attaching them to corsa subframes? I'll be doing the latter I imagine.

onto corsa subframes is easiest, take the old sliding top bit off, bolt 2 strips of angle iron to the runners and then line up the seat and mount,

you will need them nearly touching in the middle

And you gotta get them out of a 2 door yes? Unless you don't have/use back seats?

I'm guessing I could use the recline function to roll them forward, then slide them to allow access to the back seats.

yeh kick trims will be removed for sure, i think you will find if you move the seat slightly higher up you will have more room as the floor pan isnt so narrow!

Its not a huge job just a bit of ball ache getting them to fit right,

The ones I'm lookin at are from a uk 4-door... so only have recline function - dont appear to have all that plastic trim around the base. More like normal corsa seats.
