Fitting Cobra Daytonas

Anyone got any hints for getting Cobras into a Calibra without having to buy the seat frames?

PM Steva he has them in his green turbo but I think he used the vauxhall sub frame.

You can get Vauxhall sub frames but I haven't found them any cheaper than £108 a side

My drivers seat is on the vauxhall sub frame with a little help.

They are currently cream leather but I was going to get them recovered when I have the interior done, they also need heat pads inserting IMO but this is all academic as I didn't get them after all - seller let them go to someone on eBay as a job lot with an Astra interior

Tim they are still for sale mate, sorry if I confused you

What I was saying was Matt has declined an offer of £200 via eBay (as the fees will leave him with £180 ish)

He has said £200 cash would do the trick, and we are waiting to hear back from the potential buyer. However if you're interested you're welcome to them!

Thanks for letting me know fella but £200 for the seats is too steep for me sadly
