   Right there.a million threads bout what u need to fit buckets.
   
   Either side mounts which are screwed to floor.
   
   Subframes and runners then bolted in
   
   Or if your good with a welder cut the old frames off original seats and weld on new seats.
   
   Then u need decide bout original seatbelt or harnesses as some subframes dont have attachment for original seatbelt

   Where the OE seatbelt rail is - one of the lap straps go there. And the other luckily fitted to my seat. Your seat might not have one of these.. so might have to weld a plate near the handbrake.
   
   and the shoulder straps can be attached to where the rear seat belt's bolted to.
   
   Some people bolt them where the clasp's was (under the rear seats) but it leaves a bad angle on harnesses. So i've bolted them to where the rear seat belt's was.. on the rear pillars.

   I used sparco sub frames a lot less hassle then cutting and welding your old seats
