zook seat replacing
zook seat replacing
anyone know what seats i can bolt directly to the old rails??
i can get some silvia seats for 20 bucks, but wondering if anyone had already done this, and what a decent alternative would be.
currently i have NO seats, so anything would be an upgrade lol.
much appreciated guys.

Well, while they aren't a straight bolt-in, I used Toy MR2 seats which are really nice, and not too wide. The drivers side is a simple, almost bolt in. For the passengers side I fabbed a frame out of steel 2x2. Two pieces front to back, with two pieces across mounted on top, I then bolted the seat to this frame. The drivers seat has a few plush areas like adjustable lumbar, adjustable sides, adjustable thigh height.
Both seats have five way adjustable headreasts, and recline.
Simple really. And has been certified.

Anyone know about if this will work?
Due to a careless wrecker ripping out the old drivers seat with a crowbar it has ripped the welded nuts on the rear drivers seat mount through the mount and looking a bit like a mess.
I was going to get some 70-75mm RHS or channnel and box the original units in and weld them up. then use a new bolt + nut/nyloc or weld new nut on underneath for seat bolting.
i was thinking of getting some 3mm wall for this as the orig is paper thin.
thanks

Be warned!! Years ago I had a hard top and put in some nice Gemini seats. Problem was I was flat out getting my legs between the seat and the steering wheel, so I put in a sports steering wheel (smaller diameter), this in turn made it a bitch to turn on trials and parking. Solution. Got old seats re-trimmed, sold steering wheel and Gemini seats for huge loss but now rich in hindsight!

That's the proper procedure according to the factory service manualnicbeer wrote: Due to a careless wrecker ripping out the old drivers seat with a crowbar
I would definitly be welding the nut on. You should even be able to tack a nyloc on there without melting it. Either that or use a centre punch to close in the nut slightly so it doesn't rattle loose. You will be hating pulling/installing the seats without captive nuts.nicbeer wrote: then use a new bolt + nut/nyloc or weld new nut on underneath for seat bolting.
You could weld on a conelock nut (all steel high tensile lock nut).Damo wrote:That's the proper procedure according to the factory service manualnicbeer wrote: Due to a careless wrecker ripping out the old drivers seat with a crowbar

A conelock is like a nylock but without nylon.
Also called a prevailing torque lock nut.
