yeah i have some of those seats just waiting to go in, i looked at my original seats an thought f**k. I cant see how you can make a sub frame from the original seats so i need some specially made ones but thats more money.

cobra sell universal frames and i think tailor made nova ones.

i have the universal ones which came as a package when i bought my seats. the two front bolts go into the standard position and the rear you have to drill two holes in the floor and bobs your uncle. its a half hour job each side

its wise to reinforce the holes you drill though with washers or a welded plate

Do your subframes slide dave?

Tailored subframes for a nova are around ?55 each, The bad thing about bucket seats is that the car will fail the mot unless they tilt forward so there is enough room for passengers to get in and out of the back, the other way round this problem is to remove the back seats.
