The spring just helps the seat come forward easier, you could use any old spring to make this work :thumbs:

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I did this today... :thumb:
Now, I am not in any way mechanically minded but I managed it :grin:
So here goes!
Started with this little lot:
Plan is to fit this little bad boy in:
And swap for this:
The bracketry:
The cheat method as it's already put together:
Tools required:
May or may not be required...
Remove rear bolts:
Seat is electric so lift up as high as poss and then get it into whatever position that you want it to stay in for storage:
Rear bolt:
Next get these off of the front:
Use the flat head to lift the 'tab':
Amazingly, still not required yet:
Remove front bolts:
Extender needed here:
Lift seat:
Underneath:
The electrics:
Slide this little catch out:
Once removed:
Found a new lucky penny!!!
The seats for comparison, weight/size/bracketry:
I need to lose some weight LOL!
So a comparison of Sport seats/Leather GT3 seat/Nomex GT3 seat:
Sport seat:
Leather:
Nomex:
Spring came off but no worries, as this just helps the seat to slide forward easier:
Few pics to show that the rails are exactly the same:
Seat all together as I swapped the brackets from the Leather to the Nomex:
Trial fit in place:
Bolt back in:
Covers slide back on:
TADA!!!!!!!!
Still not opened a beer:
Is that an alien in my car or is it just pleased to see me?
I was going to do daylight shots but it was raining a little:
Now it's time for Guinness...
I hope that helps/helped someone out :thumb:
Fab write up Jin!
However there may be an elephant (or two) in the room :hand:
Or rather an elephant or two in your garage!
Of course I never doubted that a gentleman such as yourself would waft around the lanes of Bedford in supreme luxury, but prey tell, what is this Roller in the stable?
Any self respecting Mayoral candidate would also have another chariot for those 'essex boy' weekends... And it looks like there's a Sierra 4x4 in in there too? :dont know:
Finally does my little eye spy some sort of early 90s Merc? :?:
More photos and descriptions are required I'm afraid...
:worship:
:thumb:
Great write up. :thumbs:
You deserve a beer just for linking all the photos. That alone takes bloody ages.
As said that's a great collection of 90's metal there.
More pics please.
Few more:
Here she is:
Black/grey contrast looks good to me:
Extra leg room for the boy :grin:
These 2 will be happy:
Gratuitous pic...you can't NOT look back :thumb:
Nice write up mate,
I love those Recaros !! Getting in and out can sometimes be fun :thumb:
I noticed that I don't have the springs on mine, will have to look into that :worship:
Take it easy
I've never seen the spring on any of the bucket seats that have crossed my path :dont know:
The spring just helps the seat come forward easier, you could use any old spring to make this work :thumbs:
I just realised that I have also saved 16kg's...make that a foot long please Mr Subway man :grin:
:thumb:
Glad I wasnt the only desperately looking at the glimpses of other cars!
Seriously impressed you spotted the Merc, I had to go and take another look as I had missed that - it only appears in one shot.
Jin - you look to have an amazing garage (not just the cars, I would kill for the space!)
