Fitting Cobra Daytona's

[Sir_Dave]

Need a bit of help really, have my Cobra Daytonas sat at home & the subframes arrived today. Only thing is, theres only 2 buts/bolts in the box.

Now am i missing something or dont i need a few more :S Chap at Cobra said just use the original ones in the car - but tbh, he didnt really sound like he was on our planet ...

If i do need more, what should i buy - help please.

Those 2 bolts are for attaching the seatbelt/pretensioner to the subframe. You need an additional 8 bolts (4 each seat) for attaching the subframe to the car.
I can't remember the strength required (Paul told me), but they are cheap on ebay.

Thanks, will purchase now.

Silly question (but the seats are at home so cant check) what do i attach the cobra seat to the frame with - do i need to buy anything else?

 

[ForceIndia]

I think the bolts are already attached to the subframe, just undo them. The nuts to attach the subframe to the car, are the one's already in use on the car, just re-use them.

Thanks

There's a washer (about 3mm thick) in between the runner and the subframe. Remove it and the driving position is even better. Doesn't serve a function IIRC.
