calibra leather in nova.

[novadose2009]

hi whats the best way in doing this, is there a way with having 2 cut and weild the floor?

thanks

[Plug]

make up some subframes iirc

but they will look oversized

[blue_peg_16v]

subframes off gte sri or gsi nova seats welded to the calibra seats and then re trim rears with leather off the rear bench or cut the frame and foam to fit

[novadose2009]

do the bench mounts line up with nova one or will they need fabricating?

subframes off gte sri or gsi nova

are those subframes different 2 any other model seat base?

Yeah, any seats that arent up and over type.


Also, trimming the rear bench can be tricky, as its smaller than the nova one:thumb:

[novadose2009]

so getting some of those 3 types of subframes will be ok for the fronts and i would have 2 re trim the rear bench as i want 2 use the calibra bench is this the best way 2do it?

[MattBrown]

You replace the material from the rear bench, with the leather from the calibra bench.

[novadose2009]

would that still look the same as what the calibra bench would look like?

if u used the nova bench with the calibra leather

Ish, its smaller, so the material is bigger.

It sort of pulls round further, but its not too bad:thumb:

[novadose2009]

ok il do that then i think so was them three subframes the only ones i can use?

sr/gte/gsi

[MattBrown]

SR, GTE, GSI

Correct.

[novadose2009]

will the calibra leather front seats fit onto sr/gte/gsi subframes or will they have 2 have fabricated brackets ect im not sure how seats are fitted to the subframes


just to add the front 2 bolts fit, its the rear bolts that need welding

[LEWI007]

You have to cut the foam out of the bottom part and tie the leaher round onto the nova frame, and the rear backrest part just swaps straight over to the nova bench but you cut a little but off the top and screw the leather in to make it tight, i did mine and fits perfect.

Theres a guide on migweb

I did it, Used SR front subframes then made some brackets to bolt the Cally seats to.

Back I used the Nova frame for the top re trimed with cally foamand leather and then the bottom piece I used the cally base with a cut down metal frame the stuck the seat belts through the holes and cable tied it down.
