Tricky-Ricky Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Just picked myself up a pair of these, and wondered if anyone knew where to get some cheap universal sliding subframes that i can adapt? failing that i guess i could adapt/hack up the std ones. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid210/p5bd21238847dd85ec235c37da92a7cef/eddf9f79.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 they konigs or cobra misanos? usually can get fitted frames from the manufactorer although silly prices (usually) the fit is 2nd to none Ric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I believe Paul Whiffen can get sub frames for most types of seat, though I don't know if they'e cheap or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 Just paid a visit to Corbeau seats who are local to me, and picked up two pairs of sliders, so now all i need to do is make the brackets to fit:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 Finished them last week but forgot to put a pic up, used Cobeau sliders and welded up some subframes, they are pretty comfortable for sport seats, and hold you in well should you wish to indulge in some spirited cornering;) http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid210/p4086919f5df6635463595a0ebccb9cec/edb894cf.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 TR, did you happen to weigh the standard seats? These ones must weigh a fair bit less eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 Unfortunately not:( by the time i had got the sliders and subframes on theres not a lot of difference, lighter than the drivers electric unit but about the same as the passenger seat, oh well they look good.

JohnA Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I remember someone commenting on how heavy the original seats are. Hard to put it into perspective, from the people who fitted carpets with hollow fibres to save weight. Anyway, they *do* look good:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 Personally i wouldn't call the passenger seat any more heavy than some Recaro seats that i had fitted to another car of mime, i think if you want light weight seats then you need to go for racing type buckets, but then i don't find that type very comfortable, so for the sake of a few pounds i chose comfort and a happy back;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
