   Has anyone on here molested their STD seat subframes to enable them to have bucket seats fitted onto them at all?
   If so how easy/hard was it to be done?

   Hi, I got a cobra bucket and made my own non adjustable seat fixing, bought a piece of flat steel and some simple welding (which I am crap at!) it works well as long as you only drive it!
   
   pics if you want?

   There isnt a standard subframe as such, its part of the seat so you'd have a right job on welding and cutting. Raceland ones are cheap are fit nearly all base mounted buckets and the OMP ones sold by YB Racing on ebay are under £100 a pair if i remember.
