#1: Removing Front seat Author: j4m1e, Location: BirminghamPosted: Tue May 17, 2011 3:09 am ---- hi guys ive had a bargin offered to me (two bucket seats for £100) of a mate and i was wondering how easy is it to remove the seats and replace them with the new bucket seat ?
and will it effect the MOT/Service having the bucket seats ?
Cheers in advance

#3: Re: Removing Front seat Author: j4m1e, Location: BirminghamPosted: Tue May 17, 2011 3:15 am ---- nope no airbags its a X reg

Make sure your buckets will fit with the right rails and MOT will pass it as long as there secure and don't rattle and have seat belts/harnesses.
Seats are your life not just style :.P as my MOT guy once said
#5: Re: Removing Front seat Author: j4m1e, Location: BirminghamPosted: Tue May 17, 2011 3:18 am ---- ok cheers i just wanted to check if they would be a problem in the MOT and i take it the bolts are in the rails under the seat

#9: Re: Removing Front seat Author: j4m1e, Location: BirminghamPosted: Tue May 17, 2011 3:41 am ---- ok ..... i take it i may need a few hours to be on the safe side
#10: Re: Removing Front seat Author: BigGreenDave, Location: The RiftPosted: Tue May 17, 2011 4:18 am ---- Lol well you may need afew hours to find the bolts haha and get the right tool and then to get them out without constantly smacking yourself haha. Just make sure when you take them out you have hold of the bottom maybe put towels around the rails they are sharp edged an will hurt your paint

The one's nearest the gear stick?
I used a T40 Key (allen key L shape) with a pair of mole grips locked in at the top for extra purchase.
Gently pull the bolster towards you for extra room so you've got an almost vertical drop to the bolt and then undo the bolt.
