Folding?

[_WILL_]

I feel a little stupid asking this but I am really unsure.

Can you fit fixed back bucket seats eg:

but fit them on rails or similar that allow you to fold them forward to allow access to the back seats?

Or maybe get rails that are extra long to slide them a long way forward, to allow access?

Also can u use a standard seatbelt with seats like these?

Cheers,
Will

Just found omp do a tilting sub-frame, bout £60 each.

So its:

Seat
Side mounts / runners
Tilting sub-frame

Think thats how it goes anyway.

Basically I want it cos i wan't new seats, but need the rears until I get another everyday car in a year or so. Then clio will be stripped out and I can just get rid of the tilting part. Don't really wanna have to buy new seats again!

Plus decent fixed back buckets seem a lot cheaper.

Two things that worry me:

1. With the extra tilting part, how high will we be sitting, will it be an improvement over standard, would defeat the object a little but would still be worth it for the extra support.

2. Will they be able to tilt or will they just catch off on the roof, defeating the object of having the tilting in the first place?
