Default Fitting buckets

For the fitting of bucket seats is a base plate required? I have the seats and the side mounting things. I don't want sliders...

If I do need them, where is best? Are they decent fit?

Graham, call Demon Tweeks. Ask them for the OMP seat frames. Approx £75 per side.

Expensive for what they are when you look at them. But worth every penny when you see how easy they make bolting in a set of sidemounted buckets.

Ive previously made my own frames/runners and these are worth the price for the reduced agro alone.

Yes mate, just the OMPs and whatever sidemounts your seats take. I used Sparco seats and Cobra subframes and the bolt holes lined up prefectly. Not saying that all will but im 100% sure this will be the easiest solution for you.

If youre Essex local, drop by and have a look mate
