Was wondering how to put bucket seats in a 1200 Coupe from another car?

to my knowledge and trust me I'm am yet to try (I'm getting new seats soon) but all's involved is making a bracket to fit up the new seat rails to the existing seat holes, could be easy or a pain??? Someone correct me if I'm wrong!

It is pretty much just a matter of putting spacers on the original seat mounts to your new seat.
Make sure you use high tensile bolts and locktite too. I also advise that you check that the new seats sit in the right place too. Like that the side doesn't hit the door trim or hangs over the handbrake type thing.
Ummm an dpain thte spacers black too if you have a chance cos I'm not quit sure of the legality....

I'm pretty sure that it's perfectly legal as long as you use the same rails/track width.

If you have to move the rails then you need engineering approval.

I've already lined up some Swift GTi seats for my 1200 coupe, and I don't even get the car until next week!!!

in QLD seat swaps require engineer approval unless they are a direct bolt-in replacement. I've done many seat swaps from import seats to SAAS and SPARCO seats. It's deadset easy on a 1200. Normally aftermarket seats have a narrower base bolt pattern than the original seats and you can simply add 2 peices of flat plate steel (at least 3mm - but consult a Qld Transport approved engineer) between the 1200 runners front and rear and drill those cross pieces to sit the seat base.

PS - Qld transport engineers frown on high tensile bolts for seat mounting. You'll notice the factory uses mild steel...

I've got a pair of good condition Import seats complete with engineer approved mounting brackets to suit 1200. $300 and they're yours... All I know is they are out of a Toyota - they have pretty good side bolstering, driver's side base is height adjustable. Black with grey centres on the back and base. I'll have a look tonight to see if I've got a photo if you are interested.

would this work cutting the slide thing off the botem and cutting the one of the new seat and stick the old seat slide things on the new ones some how like weld plated and stuff or is that to hard

i guess it could work, but it's probably easier to just unbolt the slide runners

Sounds like your's are corolla FX GT seats? I've got some that were going to be in my car, before I realised I was going to need to recert the whole car to installl them! They now make lovely flat furniture!

Obviously its easy but it depends on the seats, Harry pictures would be nice......Do you need approval for fixed bucket race seats???
