Default Seat Runners/Side Mounts

What are the side mounts?

Cobra Seats

Do they bolt onto the runners?

Thanks

You will either need to buy a subaru specific subframe or make something. I butchered the subframes from an old set of subaru seats and used some flat bar and then my side mounts are bolted to the flat bar.


You will see subframes in the link you posted.

So the side mounts attach to either side of the seat and then you attach the side mounts to the sub frame?

Thanks

I've just done this little project.

Firtsly you dont need to buy a special subframe

I have a Cobra Sebring pro seat (GT size for the larger driver). I guess the std size seat will require a little more reworking as it will be narrower.

I have fitted the correct cobra side mounts to the seat sides and then fitted the sidemounts to a set of OEM sliding rails from an early Impreza (not the later tilt adjust type)
I used some 6mm plate as a spacer in order to clear the slider mechanism of the rails. I used grade 12.8 socket head bolts & nylok nuts to mount it all together.

Works a treat
