Afternoon everyone

wanted to fit my passenger side bucket seat this weekend for the MK meet as wanted to give out a couple of passenger rides (plus have the passenger seat in for combe)

Only problem is i cant find one new or second hand cobra seat subframe for love nor money, there is r-tec local to me where i work in st.albans called them asking for one and they have spoken to cobra directly and they are saying lead time for one is a month
(something to do with cobra being broken into and having stock stolen etc)

So i have cash waiting if someone can find and get me a passenger side cobra seat subframe (not the side mounted ones) as the one i want to fit is a base mounted seat

much appreciated if anyone can find one or knows someone who has one

cheers

Search for Cavalier, Calibra and Astra Mk3 ones - all the same...

I had Cavalier adaptors fitted to my Cobras in my Corsa.

100%

I bought my Cobras & Adaptors for my Cavalier originally, then tested them in my Corsa and they fit, they stayed in it for 3 years right up until the buyer of the car swapped them out for proper welded seat mounts.

The way Cav Mk3/Calibra/Astra Mk3/Corsa B seats mount to their Subframes are the same, and those points are where the Cobra adaptors mount to the Subframes

No - he means they're under stuff which is under some other stuff and while you're looking there's some stuff in the way.
