Aftermarket Seats - What else is needed to install them?

[Pabs]

Hey All,

 

I've got some Recaro Speed seats, and Bride runners on their way to me from various sources. No definate ETA yet, but I need to plan ahead.

 

Questions I need help with please:

 

1) What else do I need to install aftermarket seats - any bolts/screws?

 

2) Do the seats have the bolt holes in to match directly to the rails? I'm lead to believe the Bride ones are a straight fit?

 

3) I assume I need to retain my standard seatbelt buckle clips that hold the belts in - so I plan to remove these from my current seats - is this easy?

 

 

Any other help would be great folks - never done anything like this before so it's new to me! (I can get the current seats out easily enough - I've done that bit )

1. you should be able to use the current bolts

 

2. the subframes should be a straight fit

 

3. One bolt and it should locate on the seat

thanks Trig.

 

I understand the rails can use the standard bolts to the floor, but do seats/rails come supplied with bolts to secure the two together?

 

Thanks

[Trig]

yeah they sould do, if not im sure you can get some from halfords, the ones in mine are 6mm.

excellent - cheers mate.

 

So now all I need to do is to figure out how to remove the seatbelt buckles from my current facelift seats....

[Trig]

once you get the seats out all will become clear, the buckles are held onto the seat by one bolt.

yeh - just the seat trim is either side of it isn't it? Need to remove that first?
