Fitting Corbeau seats

[haimsey]

Due to fit my clubsport seat soon. Am I likely to need any additional bolts for the subframe/seat?
If so what am I likely to need, can go shopping in the stores at work for what I need
Thanks

 

[JON FOZ]

What have you actually got at the moment ?

 

[haimsey]

What ever comes with the seat and subframe (which gets delivered tomorrow)

 

[just-that-ek]

It'll be runners and side mounts that come, so you'll just need the subframes

You will need a pair of these:

I was advised that corbeau frames DO NOT fit this psrticular seat.

 

[JON FOZ]

I should have some of my VBD X-Low subframes available shortly.

We could check if your seats are compatible if you're having problems fitting them.

I know about the parts. I have the seat, I have the subframe - just wanted to know if I am likely to need extra bolts to fit them all.
Luckily (rather unluckily) the delivery from Corbeau has been delayed, by a long time, so I will have chance to figure out the bolts situation

Quite a few people are asking about fitting the clubsport seats so here's a quick guide,

-The seats took a total of about 2 hours to fit start to finish but that was getting a move on,
it's more fiddly than difficult to get them perfect,

-The renault seat bolts in with 4 under the car, 2 of them nearer the sills are under rubber grommets and the other 2 can be unbolted through the heat shield for the cat via 2 access holes,

-Remember to unclip the airbag wiring from under the seats

-Then bolt the new subframes to your bucket seats with m8 x 30 cap head bolts (allen key head) with the washers and nylon nuts,
this might be fiddly and require a little bit of readjustment of the seat rail runners if you're using them.

- you will now need to lift the carpet around the tunnel near the gearstick surround as you will need to remove the air ducting the runs under the seats and carpets, as these get in the way of the subframe
(omp or JON_FOZ extra low version).

-now bolt the lot (seat and subframe) into the car with the m8 x 40 bolts and reusing the original renault nuts the came from the original seats.

- you will then have to fit resistors under the seat in the airbag wiring to turn off the airbag warning light,
search it but 3.3 ohm if i remember right
- and fit harness bolts through the floor if you're running harnesses 7/16 unf with spreader plates like these

BOLTS YOU WILL NEED ARE BELOW

you'll need 8 of m8 x 40mm bolts to bolt the subframes to the car floor like these

@dann2707 @bashracing Cheers guys!

 

[haimsey]

What have you guys used to level the seat out? I've got it as close as poss, but it still leans towards the centre of the car.

 

[bashracing]

the renault spacers that sit under the standard seats just on the tunnel side, or washers if you don't mind it a bit pikey

 

[haimsey]

Took the plastic Renault ones out thinking it would sit a bit lower. We found some nylon spacers, but we seemed to be spacing it out quite a lot
