   Hey
   
   Can I butcher my VTS seats to use the runners for some 'universal' bucket seats?
   
   Cheers

   yeh. you will have to cut your originals off and then weld up a sub frame as simple as you can for the seat to bolt on to

   i took my seats out altogether, went the local scrappy got some hard wearing steel, welded together a frame thats fits into the original cars bolt holes, then just bolted the seats to it. sits a bit higher than standard, but beats paying for subframes. be careful which bolts u use, i got pulled with them in and the officer checked the torque setting of the bolts....just use original bolts...
