They should be a straight swap. Check the runners are set correctly. The fronts bolting in?

EDIT: for the rears you will need the 60/40 brackets IIRC as boggo specs have 1 piece rear seats.

You need to cut the seat mounts out of a gsi shell and weld them into the 1.2!

There a split seat on the rear, so Either get the mounts, or brace accross the back!

the back of the front seat gets slid on first then the front gets bolted

yeah did that but they appear to be a little loose and instead of using a slider that looks like this (__) thats the peice that goes up to fit the slider, its at a 90 degree angle to it

No, gsi's have different subframes. The D shape tabs at the front are around the other way.

You need to fit your std subframes or any from a 1lt to a 1.4 subframes.

The subframes wont come off the originals, as their part of the seat as in built in, so suggestinos??

Mine fit fine. Without the bits of plastic they were a bit loose though.

Oh then get the subframes from anything other than a gte/gsi then bolt to the seats and fit the car.

If your GSi seats have the subframes on them put them into place in the car and you sit in the back and once the subframes line up with the runners on the car, pull forward the bar that makes the seat slide on the runners and it should click into place then the front locating bolts should be in about the right position :)

PM me if you need any more help...or if that wasn't too clear
