Rodeo seats in Sierra?

Post by ZookCam »

Does anyone have any experience fitting Rodeo ('97+) seats into a Sierra?
Thought i read on a post somewhere '97+ can go straight in without adjusting rails.
Thought about GTi seats but they are too expensive for me, so was just thinking if Rodeo seats fit prob much easier to find at wreckers.

Cheers/Beers.

Is there something wrong with the stock seats? If not, why not keep them? Different seats are usually a PITA!! Try the search function.

The easiest way I have found to go is jap wreckers. Go there with a tape measue and have a look at the seats that are similar in width across the side bolsters, this way you will get something that fits in the zook. You'll find a lot of seats are too wide.

To fit them in you should be able to remove the runners from the seats and you should be left with 4 holes on a flat base (all the ones I have seen are like this). Generally these wont match up with the zook rails but what i've done is bolt 2 lengths of 50x10 aluminium flat bar across the bottom of the seats and drill holes in this to suit the sierra rails. You should then be able to bolt them straight into your zook.

Note that this will raise the seat up a bit, and considering the newer jap seats will already have you up higher compared to your old sagged zook seats you may be sitting up considerably higher than before. For me this is good as I prefer it that way (heaps better visibility) but some people dont like it.

another way is to mount the seat to a flat piece of metal and then just bolt that to the runners which is How we did it for my brothers Zuk at one stage

munecito from Suzishop forum says ;

"a friend in the club has Holden Rodeo seats on his sierra straight bolt on and very confy, I'm saving to buy a set. Holden Rodeo '97 on"

have not yet made contact with him to ask a bit more - just thought if someone else knew of this B4 I go to a wreckers with me tape measure and straight rule.
