bucket seat subframe / mounts

[PureButeS12]

hi people, i've just got a pair of corbeau boss reclining bucket seats for a price i couldn't resist

i'm having trouble finding some subrames / mounts for them, does any1 know if s13/s14 kits will fit?

cheers

An old chestnut that everyone putting bucket seats in has struggled with. Due to the transmission tunnel side being higher than the door side, hence causing major probs in geting them mounted correctly withoutpulling your hair out

I've wondered about this myself due to the huge bumps from transmission like mentioned before. What would we S12 owners need to do so buckets were able to fit?

Heres how I did mine.

Not with the seats I have. Wanted them low so in a crash there is no or little chance whacking my noggin on the cage.
