I ordered the adaption bars that allow a 'straight fit' with a cobra bucket seat into a mk3/4 escort. What i want to know is when i buy the seats do they come with their own subframes or do I need to source standard mk3/4 escort subframes to fit them with the adaption bars ? Any help would be great

 

Side mounted seats?

You will need the side mounts
Adapter bars and mk3 runners

Not sure how high they will sit

Mine are bolted to chassis

 

I'm buying the seats this week think i'm going for the monaco's. I have 2 adaption bars per seat and 4 nut and bolts in the kit

 

Are they base mount?
Think they are

The adapter kit mounts bolts to underside of seat to your seat runners

 

To the original seat runners or do the seats come with them ?

 

To originals

 

Thanks alot for your help mate

 

They might sit too high, though, depending on how tall you are and your rollcage etc.

I know with mine, I have side mounts, but I'm still struggling to get a comfortable seating position because of the floorpan crossmember and the rollcage.

 

I just bought the monaco pro's instead they are side and bottom mount so if the bottom mount doesn't sit great i'll get the side mounts

 

I have tried every possible way to fit the original runners to these seats with the adaption bars and for some reason it's being a nightmare... anyone know off hand what holes you use ? It seems whatever holes I line up on the subframe front or back then the opposite end is out. Am i better off just trying side mounts or i can buy a complete cobra subframe which is a direct fit into the car ?




I take it they don't go this way round ?

 

I made up my own bars to fit on the escort runners ,check out my track car thread ,should be some pics in there

 

Thanks i'll take a look don't have a link do you ?
