If you find Matt's (Almera_UK) cardomain site, it has a guide to making subframes for bucket seats

Yeah i'm sure you have to make custom one's as Corbs has kindly pointed out, as i don't think you can get any pre fabricated!!

Don't know if this help just feel like talking(typing) the night

haha, yeah you can use your original subframes mate you just need to weld some bits of metal onto the top of them and drill holes in the appropriate places to bolt the seats to. (i.e. the same as Almera_UK's guide :O )


Guess I felt like typing too.

I found i couldn`t use the original subframes.....can`t remember why though.

I used some nissan maxima subframes i got from the states ( ebay )....3 of the bolts lined up. I had to do some drilling to make the last bolt fit.

Good point Rowdy, might depend on what seats you've bought then minigibb, here's an image of my OE subframes modified to fit (ignore the circle):
