Hi guys,

Probebly getting on your nerves by now with all my advice asking lol

While back bought a pair of bucket seats brand new on the cheap of a mate (£80) but i tried fitting them and realised soon after that they need their own subframe!







There are no manufacturer marking or part numbers of anykind so can't find what seats they actually might be but to me they look like recaro.

If possible that someone knows what kind of subframe i need and possibly where i can buy it from, would be kool

Cheers

They looklike the seats you can buy in makro.

If so they dont come with subframes,you need to get some made up yourself, any garage that does welding would be able to make some up the seats are pretty wide mind my mate had them in his corsa.

you only need 2 x 12" pieces of angle bar to act as a convertor from the standard subframe to the aftermarket one.

Corbeau charge £75 per seat for two bits of angled steel

Can you! What about the sub-frame to fit corsa B 1997 or still either way a make-it-up job?
