Where from?how much?and whats involved in fitting?

You will need some sub-frames to fit the bucket seats on. I just happen to have some front seats for sale if your interested :whistle:

They are on eBay. The number is 271292921854.

can you not use the sub frame off the current seats?

No sub frames are required! Used Standard Jimny sub frame parts slightly modified.

Now that I like A'LOT!

Drove my jimny for the first time in ages with J999pre after fitting a brand spanking new Rocklobster and Cradle thanks to Rockwatt. ( my old Rocklobster gears failed due to poor welding )

Thanks to James it now runs sweet with a Liana 1.6 with a 5 paddle clutch,

Only went about the dirt track up the top, instant feel of more power and torque, that jimny of mine needed the bit more poke to pull its weight :blush: :blush:

He enjoys it! :silly: :silly: Best man for the job

I spent extra on mine as we decided to leave the old engine complete so that it could live again, so after a visit to the main dealers I came out with a new sump pan, Oil pick up pipe, New inlet and outlet gaskets and oil filter mounting stud.
Its also a good time to throw a new clutch in :silly:

Next jobs are new seats, internal X brace to roll cage, Working CB radio, and a full custom manifold de-cat pipe and full stainless exhaust and some protection from the elements.

Then once that's all done I'll think of more :silly: :silly:

Just remind me, does a de-cat pass the MoT?

If you have 2 cats and take one out it may but if you have one and its removed then no unless you know a dodgy mot tester

When mine went for motting the dude motting it dint really bother he just left the little device on the floor about 6 foot away from the exhaust so quite likely

James told me you got a few bits to make the job easier and to save the old engine a good call in my eyes nice looking jimny by the way
