buckets seat ideas how to fit to rails

[Ritch GTI]

hi there could you guys poss help with ideas to fitting bucket seats to rails for a lupo??

iv looked on the (how to) section but there way of fitting the seats are for simalr style seats, these have

bolts at the bottom of the seats two up front and the rear!

my self and my uncle fitted some in my old polo and went well

im selling these seats and some people might be interested off here, but have you guys got an easyer way to fabricate these seats to lupo rails,

or any other ways???

feed back would be a massive help thanks

Rears, bolt to a bar and bolt the bar to the runners

Fronts, bolt to a bar that has a bend in it and bolt that to the front like the 2 standard bolts

Make sense?

Pm me or give me a call rich

I wouldn't run it how Matt just said.

Simple way of doing it, weld some brackets onto the seats, cut frames off doner seats, and using two bars bolt the frames onto the seat.

PM Icegezzer. He did mine and did a top notch job. I wouldn't do it yourself as you don't want the seat following you out of the windscreen.

ah i see matt i jst reali wana get these gone so de more ideas de beta lol de rails u can get off de net how do u fit them to de floor? Do u bolt them or weld then?

[BenLAST]

The way Matt's are done is that there are two bars welded across the runners on the bottom, the front with being bolted to the normal bolting mounts, and the rear bolting through where the wheels on standard bases run.

Matt, you answered your own question there. Pimp my Ride do absolute bodge jobs if i'm honest. Don't get me wrong, they work, but theres far safer and more practical ways of doing it. Using doner seats and frames are your best bet.

If you're pm'ing IceGeezer, say i recommended you, and he'll know exactly what you want doing.

When I worked @ pioneer we supplied audio to Pimp my ride..

the less said about the work that came out of there the better...

Thanks for the shout Ben,

Iv done a lot of sets now and the latest have been Benlasts's

its a matter of needing donor seats and a lot of fabrication if you want to mantain OE looks and operation while maitaining saftey.

if your not a confident welder/fabricator - dont risk it..

hey guys thanks for ur feed bk iv got a rough idea on them my uncle is a welder by trade so not that bad when doin it with de rods will the seats sit higher then normal ones! Not many ppl have been interested in these tbf any body got pics for me to have a look at?
