Would these really be that bad to fit my new seats

Or any other thought please peeps

You not got the subframes then?

Depends what seats they are, and what sort of mounts...

Nope just making sure i can do the job - but ive been in touch with Cobra and they dont bother to supply any - as certain manufacture you can use the existing! but you cant on mine (05 cup)

Well, i'd assume the current bolts would be used to mount the subframe to the car.

The seats come with bolts to attach to the side mounts (assuming your specing up good seats) Then I guess you only need bolts for mounting side mounts to the subframes... Which (from past experience) should come with bolts.

Side mounts are on the way to me, so i'll let you know if thats the case!

 

[paul]

the current bolts are welded to the oem frames!

Goes to show what I know then! In that case - i also want to know the answer to this question!

[philthy]

strength is the key, 8.8 is medium, look for 10.9 for security

ones above I would guess are 8.8

10.9>
Made from alloy steel quenched, tempered, and zinc plated. Best for automotive use and other areas where high strength is needed.

Paul.. did i not tell you what to buy LOL?

just get 12.9 m8 cap bolts

 

[RallyXmad]

How long for the bolts Ben?

And what bolts to bolt the seat to the subframe?

 

[paul]

50mm - yes thanks Ben! Cobra are sorting some out for me as i Complained

Complaining ftw

 

[RallyXmad]

50mm - I take it these are for chassis to subframe fitment?
How about seat to subframe?

 

[paul]

year these are from frame to floor!

the seats should come with fixings to fit the seat to the frame

 

[RallyXmad]

Cheers Paul!

 

[paul]

no worries

Cobra subframes are pikey. I had Daytonas fitted in my cup many moons ago (will post pics but photobucket is down) The welding is done by Stevie Wonder (tatty as f**k), the pre-tentioners/wiring are exposed. Also the seats squeek. They are cheap for a reason. Pop into Halfords for a look Poor show. I flogged them on for some Recaro trendlines, proper o.e look and build

i take it these are m8 bolts at that 50mm length are needed? also any washers need at all?
