MiniGibbo 142 Posted March 15, 2012 For those that dont follow my journal, ive encountered this problem swopping a passenger seat onto my drivers frame.. Any advice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stufarri 98 3 Cars Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) The best way is to strip down the seats and swap over the covers onto the drivers seat. Quite fiddly but probably a few hrs work. Edited March 15, 2012 by stufarri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MiniGibbo 142 Posted March 15, 2012 Thats the easiest way to fix this problem.. i was thinking of heating the arm and bending it outwards to clear the turning thing but wondered if there was a simpler way of doing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allye 530 3 Cars Posted March 15, 2012 You could always ditch the tilt system and just let passengers in through the N/S!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MiniGibbo 142 Posted March 15, 2012 Days gone by Id of just cut the f***er off with mygrinder but these new not rules mean it has to work, going to ask a mate who works in a fab shop to heat it up and give it a bend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anthony 1,000 Posted March 15, 2012 No need to cut it off - if it catches, just bend it out of the way a touch to give clearance. If you don't need/want the tilt functionality, then either fit a 5dr subframe or fully remove the tilting part from the 3dr subframe - both options means that you'll get a more stable seat that sits a touch lower.

steve@cornwall 100 Posted March 15, 2012 just put a big ring spanner over it and lever it out just enough to clear - works for me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
