Was thinking about putting calibra front seat's into my nova and wanted to know if anybody has a guide or how to
I’ve done some research on here but can’t seem to find any, found something about SRimon doing a guide, but can’t find it. Any help would be great.

they go in, but the seats are wider than the nova subframes, so you must either male a bracket up and bolt them on. Or weld the seat directly to the nova runners.

Pretty self explanitary when you have them disassembled in front of you.

Take about an hour max to do the pair.

(http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/styling-wheels-interior/166311-calibra-leather-nova-step-step.html)Right, the way I done it was to take my standard nova seat frame, and trim itso that the calibra seat sits fair flush to it, then weld it on. Might sound a bit dodgy but they were fine.

I done it years ago on a gsi, the tabs on the calibra seat base where it bolts to the subframe point side to side and im sure the nova was top to bottom. I flatened them down on the calibra seat and managed to get 3 of them to line up with holes in the nova subframe. The 4th hole i drilled and speed bolted it!
It may sound dodgy but this lasted securely in the car for about 4 years until they were removed for a new interior.
best thing to do is get both seats in front of you with the subframes removed and just take it from there. :thumb:

Canny beat a bit DIY :D
