I dont suppose anybody has got some fitting instructions for the cobra seat subframes as mine didnt come iwth any?

Thx

assuming these are cobra clubmans................

the frames just bolt to the seats - the holes they bolt into are hidden by the fabric at the moment - rub your finger along the bottom outer edge at the base of the seat and you will find the 2 bolt holes on each side. they are like captive nuts fixed to the base of the seat.

mount either the front of the frame or the rear - whatever is accesible - and then slide the carriage out of the way so you can access the 2 remaining bolt holes.

you can either make a very small slit in the fabric to gain access to these fixings, or just force the bolt to tear its own way through the fabric.

hope this helps.

I cut a small hole in the fabric, screwed into the hole, and unscrewed to make sure the fabric doesn't get in the way. I then offered the front two holes on the subframe to the chair and got them in, then moved the frame backwards and got the other two screws in. I found it quite a fiddly job to do as I had a crappy screwdriver. Do all the nuts up loosely to get them all in the holes, then tighten them all up afterwards.

Hi Guys

Thankyou for your replies but it was my fault i didnt explain my self poperly.

I meant attaching the subframe to the car and the subframes go with the clubman classics i have just bought

Kind regards

2 bolts at the front onto standard mounts, nout at back.

Yeah, quite simple really - uses the same mountings as the standard seats. You might find however that the legs on the subframe need a bit of "persuading" to fit into the brackets. You also might need to trim down the subframe legs to suit your driving position as most people find that it's too laid back.
