nige Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Has any member fitted the corbeua boss seats to their supra?(or any other make of after market seats) I have just bought a pair with universal sub frames, took them to my local engineer to fit them and he found out that the sub frames are crap and theres no point on either the seats or the subs to mount the seat belt retainer clip,the only place is one single 8mm bolt on the side of the seat which would not hold in the event of an impact,be interested to hear how any one else over came this problem, and if you have fitted them in this way I think I would seriously have them sorted. My mate is goin to mount the seat belt retainer to the body of the car as you would do with a harness,and strenghthen the seat base with larger brackets to give it a more secure mount,be interested to hear different opinions on this subject,cheers,Nige.

silvershark44 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 you will have to get them custom made by the sound of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wez_p Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 i bought my Corbeau Carrera subframes from Paul Whiffin @ http://www.whifbitz.co.uk they are custom made by Corbeau in the UK & were fairly reasonably priced considering you can fit them easily yourself & wouldn't require any fabrication or labour charges for someone to fit them, just a screwdriver & socket set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 yeh but what about the seat belt retaining clip how is that bolted to the seat how many bolts hold it on? for it to do its job properly it needs at least two 10mm bolts.

JamieP Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I had a few problems when fitting my pro series... the xl driver seat i got didnt fit the subframe so needed cutting and rewelding further apart... also i was not happy with the seat belt clips being so low so as it was really awkward to get the belt to clip in so i welded some extention bars on to raise them up leval with the seat.

wez_p Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 couldn't get a decent enough pic, they are too far down the side of the seat to see definitely only one bolt though - but that's all the stock one had too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
