I need help! Bought a pair of front leather seats with universal runners and not got A clue how to fit them!! Thinking about using the existing frames under my old seats and adapting them instead of using the universal runners but seems like a load of hassle...

seats been sat in the house now for about a month. I want them in!

ANYONE got ANY ideas? ........

you got any pictures of the universal subframes? if you are meaning that they are just the sliders, then you may find it a little difficult as the bolt holes for saxo seats are side mounted as well as normal mounted if that makes sense so you will need to get a subframe, i was in a similar position with my 106, i found that sparco subframes suited my seats as there were various mounting holes to adapt my seats to fit, you can get whats known as z bars from ebay which will enable you to fit your seats otherwise as a last resort you can drill holes in your floorplan which i dont advise as yours seats may sit too low and the holes may cause rust contamination. i have heard that omp subframes are good for adaption aswell.

never buy universal, always buy the specific ones for your car, saves all the problems

i bought universal leather seats, where were they from, what i did was buy omp subframes and cut the cross bars off and got them re-welded to suit the size of the seats. done the job for me

They were on ebay from holland. Good price and they look decent too, just cant get them in! Sounds like a good idea what you did, may go with that then, cheers
