ham149 0 Posted January 28, 2008 is there anyone who could make me some brackets up to fit my 309 seats to my 205 sub frames ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonofsam 5 Posted January 28, 2008 Hi, must be your lucky day Im going to be fitting 309 seats to my 205 in the next couple of weeks, and I also work in sheet metal. From what I've seen on the search we just some 'tabs' to extened the 205 subframe onto the 309 seats? Once I've got some 5dr subframes and seatbelts (using buckets and harnesses at the moment) I shall be doing it as I've got a mate desperate for my Sparco seats for His mx5! Sam.

boldy205 74 Posted January 28, 2008 i have done this myself and found the 309 (i presume you meen the GTi) seats to be to wide for the 205, they hit the door pockets and was difficult to use the hand brake. If you do want to use the seats all that is needed is a plate aprox 50mm square for the holes to line up. Very easy to make, just need a hacksaw, file and drill.

jeremy 68 Posted January 29, 2008 Later I will dig some photos out to help, alternatively they may appear if you do a search. Mine were made out of JCB mud guards of all things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pacey205 2 Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) I just used the 309 (3 door) subframes. You need to move the outer mounting points (i.e. door side). The front captive nut needs moving (there is a hole already it just needs widening out for the nut) and at the rear you loose the bracket and use the square section of the floorplan instead. I used some 2"x2" box section with a captive nut in that is attached to the box section. See post by willwill on this topic here: http://forum.205gtidrivers.com/index.php?s...p;hl=309++seats Oh and I have no issues with the handbrake being unaccesable etc although the outer plastic of the seat does puch into the door bins a little. Not enough to make a massive difference though. Hope that makes sense Michael Edited January 30, 2008 by pacey205 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
