Replacing Sierra Seats

Post by Zack »

Does anyone know of some decent, comfortable seats that bolt straight into (or as near to as possible) a 95 Sierrra??

How about the ones you have in it now :D

Seriously - i replaced my seats for some fancy aftermarket seats and pretty soon they were covered in mud and i hunted down some normal sierra ones to put back in again... :?

Do a little search Zack - there has been a few topics for seats that will fit in a zook that will answer many of your questions.

seats for suzi

Post by toysuzi »

n13 pulsar seats bolt to std suzi mounts. but you need to swap them over. n/s to o/s etc so the recliner lever is on the inside.
if that makes sense

those autotechnica ones that autobarn sell for 200 odd bucks each fit with hardy any mods. Tite squeeze but have successfully fitted 4 sets to spooks. Just need to bolt the existing slides/rails to the bases and thats it. So who cares if they get muddy or dirty.

I was running the adjustable back ones of these seats in mine. easily fitten in place - just needed a hole drilled in each of the runners to line up with the slightly shorter (f to r) bolt pattern on the seats.

I use the adjustable ones in the soft tops and fixed ones in the utes... If you are aware that there is no adjustment in a ute anyway!

my last set were 239 each.

Seem to last ok. My last soft top has seen 3 years out of em (and still going). I did get tears on the sides but that was from the side impact bars in the cage..

My first choice of seat for the next spook by far.

On the seat theme.

My zuk has Gti seats but they are mounted pretty dodge. All the standard zuk runners and bar have been removed and the seat has just been bolted through the floor.

It is pretty crap so I was wandering if people had any suggestions on some more structurely sound mounting techniques.

All I have is the floor pan.

Wolverine apparently the GTI seats are skinnier than the originals. You can use the original rails with two pieces of flat 5 mm plate welded between them to accommodate the new mounting holes. Liam has done it this way and I have seen them being sold on one of the yanky sites. I think it was spidertrax.

Just get some rails at the wreckers for a couple of bucks. Gives you a base to work from and looks more original for the cops.

HA, if you're even lucky enough to find wreckers that even has a zuk in it. All the ones around hear do em up them selves and flog the cars off what ever happened to wrecks who actually used to wreck cars not build them. :x
