Major Seat Problem !!

[jamiecee]

Was happily taking out my seats to hoover out about the subframes and clean them.

then i seen this.. its sort of broken where the spacer sits on it, and the bolt nut thing that the bolg goes to has dropped down to a tricky place..

any ideas on how i could get the nut back up in place for me to put the bolt in it with the seat in the way, seems impossible to me lol :fcuk:

[jamiecee]

pretty clean aint it ? lol

[666]

you missed a bit lol

[jamiecee]

haha was only concentrating on the bit around the handbrake and that :O the rest gets hoovered at the weekends lol

[jamiecee]

any boyd think i would need to take off the plate or what ever it is the nut is sitting on under the car to fix it :O or could i try and glue a peice of wire to the side of the nut to keep it in place to get the bolt in ? must be some way lol

[Predator_R32]

looks to me as if its snapped too mate, needs welding back in tbh, the nut is incorported when the chassis is pressed iirc

you could try a magnet, but tbh 3 mounting should hold it in place

my mate had this happen the other day on his sax, he ended up welding the seat in

Hoovering your car has now turned into hell of big job!!.....:fcuk::wall:

[jamiecee]

as long as i can get the nut back up and get the bolt screwed into it with the seat inplace it will be ok, i had a few peices of ply holding the subframe up at the front acting as a new spacer lol but i didnt know there was a hole like that till i took out the seat, i do know alot of really good welders though..

Wont take long to weld it up!! next time leave your seats well alone bud..........:y:

[jamiecee]

hmm maby lol there is some sort of cover thats fitted on the bottom of the car though.. could i not find it then cut through it then push the nut in place while someone screws the chair in .. then after some aroldite over the hole to hold on a wee bit of metal lol

[TU-Tuning]

The cover under the car is the heatshielding mate, the area where the nuts gone is inside the seam welds of the shell so if you cut it your gonna be cutting the shell

[jamiecee]

[Bowey]

HAHA this is the exact same thing that has happond to me, this happond about 5 months ago and my chair rocks back and forward ever since lol... only fix is to weld it mate i need todo mine cause its doin me head in

edit; btw yours is the exact same hole to

[jamiecee]

haha one of them new common saxo problems LLF.
so ii have to weld the subframe to the hole ?
i can get that done for free.. lol

[jamiecee]

if i bought bucket seats.. would the new subframes still need to be welded lol

[baker556]

dont think you need to weld the subframes can you just get another nut from scrappy ie find a sax that has a seat taken out rip into it abit to get another nut out then weld the nut the the correct place then you can just screw the seat in...

[jamiecee]

the nuts still there its just too tricky getting bak in place because when the seats in place its only a tiny hole thats in the frame.. but im going to see a good welder this afternoon if hes working lol

[Tom5190]

this has happened to myn and its a pain in the arse, seat wont stay still and always clicks! it has to be welded in. guna get myn done in a few months when i learn how to sue welder lol

[jamiecee]

my mates dads one of the best welders in the area so ill get him to do it because all the other guys are too busy the now with big jobs

[justan1100]

[jamiecee]

id say thats exactly what it is lol everything they make breaks lol

[LDeere683]

mines done this aswell :/ not impressed

[rozaladdd]

mate this happend to me wasent really that much off a big deal for me mine wripped out loads off the metal and fell i got it out and give it to some bloke who does welding cost me like £20 and i have racelands in now and thier fine no rocking noise ect. i would get it done though because you will put too much pressure on the other 3 srews ! you cant access it from under the car aswell ! hope this help, any other questions ?

[Stevo123]

My floor split/cracked a bit around that hole where th elug has fallen throug hon yours. This caused the seat to move and click all the time. I have put a big "penny" washer in between th eseat and floor to sandwich it all togethor. It has made it all solid again and stopped the creak. (The washer was about an inch big so sort of covered the crack in the floor if that makes sense). Probably a worthwhile thing to do to take the strain off the floor anyway to be honest.

[rozaladdd]

doing this though isent the right way about it though that seat will save your life best to get it done properly instead of doing a bodge job.

[wanna_be_dj]

Mine failed its MOT for the same thing! Had to weld the nut back on!!

Yeah I know that of course, it's just a stop gap until I can get it in the shop and weld it properly.

[jinx]

I don't get it. Where do you put the spacer to stop it squieking? and how can it be welded wouldn't you have to take the carpet out and if you do that and weld the seat back in you wont be able to put the carpet back in.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr really annoying. If i knew what has to be welded could get it sorted.

Please Please Please help :wall::wall::wall:
