Default Mounting Bucket seats

What a Wank day im having.

I have seats out of one of my other cars im fitting to my sierra.

The subframes i have (which i thought were universal) aint fitting.

The Sierra Has 2 raised bits at the front on the floor pan that the orginal seats bolt on to.

Any1 Had this prob before as i want these fitted ASAP and dont really wanna botch/weld things unless i have to.


The seats are Sparco, but most are the same idea.

i used the std sierra runners mate, angle grind off the bracket for the seat belt (im using harness') and i just drilled a new hole for the front seat bolt hole and used a few washers to space the seat over the welds, and modded the bar that links the 2 sides of the adjuster together.

unless yours are side mounts?
