Fitting bucket seats...,

[SEW97]

Hi all

 

[SEW97]

I'm still yet to find a car but my buying spree continues! I picked up a set of Bimarco buckets with low mount subframes but they didn't come with any bolts to fix them to the car though.

What else exactly would be needed to fit them as I would like to have everything ready so I can fit them as soon as I get a car!

Many thanks

How are you mounting the seats to the subframes? Fixes side mounts or using adjustable runners? I've got an old thread saved that detailed what was needed, I'll see if I can find it again

Hi mate,

I bought these http://www.cliosport.net/threads/bimarco-futura-bucket-seats-with-renault-sport-embroidery.787806/

They are already mounted to the frames so it's just the actual mounting into the car I have no idea what I need.

Ahh right I see

When I fitted my seat (only the one :wink: as otherwise the mrs will want to come in the car too) I used the following

4 M8 x 40mm cap headed bolts (12.9 tensile with allen key head)

4 M8 washers

8 M8 penny/repair washers

I also bought nyloc nuts but used the original Renault nuts too then wound the nyloc nut on afterwards

The above is per seat so will obviously need doubling up if you're fitting 2. I put one of each washer on top of the subframe and also used a penny/repair washer underneath too, I do like a spot of overkill when it comes to seats/harnesses to be honest

I can mock one up in the morning if you like as I have a spare subframe, just so you can see what I've done

That's great thanks a lot for that!

If you wouldn't mind that would great as I too like to go overkill on anything safety related.

Here you go, one of each size washer on top of subframe and then one large under bodywork before nuts go on

Apologies for the darkness of the photos, light was fading fast
