karl Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 would these seats have the twin rail 4 bolt fitting as the MK5 golf has ? if so i have been putting a set of Mk 5 golf seats in my Lupo GTI and to do it properly you will need to be into metal work and welding as 4 towers need to be built to fix each of the 2 mounting points on each rail (the reason for the raised mounting poins is due to the hight of the MK5 seats being lower that the older MK4 seats) , i made mine in 5mm steel plate it was a bit of a long job that involves welding to the floor pan of the car as well as the old gutters which the old MK4 seats sit in . I shall get some pictures of what i done and try and post them up . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99hjhm Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 There is a much easier and less destructive way than thatThere sure is.. The subframes I made required 4 holes drilling into the Lupo rails, and thats it, easilly covered up with the lupo rail covers if i take them out again. Think the Mk2 TT seats are the same design as the Mk5's? Could have probably welded the Lupo seat wheels onto my frames, but didn't think it would end up low enough.

karl Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 There is a much easier and less destructive way than thatyes i bet there is to be honest i didnt even look i just decided i wanted my seats very secure , would be interested in the thickness of the steel used and the design a picture or link would be good .

Philplop Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Yeah, you could have knocked me some of them up! Mine cost me £150 to be made. Mine are 20mm box section, bolted to the lupo rails at the back, and using the standard lupo fixing point at the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karl Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 My Mk5 subframes....they wouldnt work on my seats as they have underseat storage bins , they would also still sit to low . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 they would also still sit to low .Yes, that's the idea - to have the seats as low as possible. Also, because the MK5 runners are kept in tact the seats can always be raised up with the normal height adjustment lever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
