Has anyone mounted bucket seats that are supposed to be fixed onto sliding/adjustable subframes? How did you do it?

I want to buy bucket seats and the ones i like are supposed to be fixed but id rather i could adjust them.

I've got some Imola 2's on sliding Nova subframes.

Got some sliding Nova subframes (GSi, GTE, SRi) then chopped off a few brackets so they had flat surfaces, then drilled a couple of holes for the side mounts to bolt to .... simple as that !!

Shouldn't have to many probs getting them to fit then, you'll need to buy some side mounts ....

Then as said, once you've chopped a few brackets of the Nova sliding subframes and drilled a few holes the side mounts will sit on top no probs, then there just to bolt down, use some high tensile M8 bolts.
