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.

Oh I know the agro!!! I fitted a set of sparcos to my old supra. Good god alive what a mission and it was supposed be decent frames.

So just the set of OMPs and I'm good? If so I'm ordering tonight

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
