Has anybody fitted bucket seats to their Jimny.
How did you do it? did you use subframes?
want to buy some second hand ones off ebay but most come with out subframes is there another way to fit them without using subframes? :S

I didn't fit my bucket seats but the previous owner cut the subframes off the standard seats and fitted (welded?) the seats to the frames.

I fitted Some new seats to mine a couple of months ago, I cut the fixing plates of the Jimny seats and fitted to the subframe of the new seats.
The seats I use where from a Skyline the runners are the same width apart, making them very easy to fit..

Mine are Recaro seats and have fairly wide "wings" at the top and on the base. I guess the previous own had trouble fitting them in to the car as the wings appear to have had some of the foam removed to get them in.

Wish I could have recaros or skyline seats
My standard ones are shot - keep bouncing out of them :silly:
The ones I bought off ebay are out of a classic mini so should be narrow enough. They just don't have any subframes but only cost Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£72 for the pair a bargain - dead tasteful eh? :laugh:
Shall be collecting them tonight and then I can see what fixings are on the bottom
