Bucket seat on standard rail

[ashley1]

Is it possible to bolt a bucket seat to a standard seat rail?

I tried this once and it didnt really work lol
seat rocked and didnt slide on the runners, i wouldnt bother

[saxplee]

works fine for me, seat is solid and slides fine :)

[ashley1]

Not to botherd if it slides or not just want a solid strong base i will get down a scrappy tomorrow get an old seat and try mount the bucket seat onto it guessing it will need drilling or welding on?

Surely for the sake of £40-50 it would be better and safer to buy a proper subframe for the seat.

Remember that seat and seatbelt combination is what prevents you from getting a serious injury in a crash so surely not worth budging something when it could potentially end up causing your death or serious injury.

You can bodge somethings on a Saxo but I don't think a seat/subframe should be one of them. Just my 2 pence worth.

trust me these seats dont move, not a single movement and sits at just right high :)

How did you mount it to the seat rail did the bucket seat just bolt straight onto it?

just wondering if i put bucket seats in could i have harnesses but still have people ing the back i dont want to us normal belts

[ashley1]

Yes you can bolt the harness directly to the floor behind the drivers seat so people could still get in the back

I wouldn't advise bolting to the floor behind the seat. Harnesses are meant to sit at a certain angle and having them bolted to the rear seatbelt points is about as low as you should go!

This tbh, ideally not even at the rear seatbelt points but thats a sort of happy medium if you don't run a cage etc.

Check the bluebook on the msa website. I know you don't have to comply with it unless its a rally car, but they don't just make up the rules for the fun of it. These french hatches are uber shite in a crash anyway, let alone if you've bodged the safety features that you do have.
