    Hey guys, I have just bought some cobra monoco seats and subframes. I am just unsure on the best way to fit them.

    Any help will be great

    Cheers

    do passenger 1 first, so you got the nac of doing it, the drivers side will be as you want it hopefully. do you have fixed frames or sliders, also are the frames made for a saxo?
    if not you may have to fabricate a few brakets to make them fit.

    screw them in mate

    easy peasy, 4 bolts attach each seat. you need a torx to undo them and then wack you new ones in, simple as

    Yea I was going to do the passenger one first . I bought the seats from this guy up north and they came out of his saxo, so they should fit . They look quite small though, which confused me a bit.

    What size torque do I need to use to get the bolts off do you know mate?

    Setup the subframes and then remove the bolts and frames of the current seats and replace evrything in reverse order with the new buckets basically

    Pretty easy to do but harnesses have to be bolted to the rear seat belt mounts which take some fiddling

    Right I am currently fitting my bucket seats, but I can't seem to bolt the bucket seats to the subframes. The bolts that I am trying to use don't seem to attach to the frames. What bolts am I meant to use? The ones one the subframes or the ones which came on the standard subframes?
