   You mean buckets? Easy. It's 6 bolts each side. Little tip, took me 15 minutes to put them in, subframe then seat. Put the seat on the subframe before fitting when I sold and it took me an hour because I couldn't move the ratchet!

   you need the correct subframes and then bolt strait in, saxo seat belts are attatched to the frame so as far as im aware you need harnesses

   Most subframes come with a bracket for the seatbelt so you can attatch harnesses or standard belts. All you need to do is unbolt the buckle from the starndard seats and bolt it to the bracket.

   Can get universal ones but best bet is to buy official brand specific ones to ensure it fits properly. I got mine on the forum.
