Has anyone fitted Subaru Impreza seats into a Samurai?

Post by Jazza » Thu Sep 10, 2015 1:56 pm

The person before me put some cheap bucket seats in it but has fitted them so badly that it is to dangerous to drive, in my opinion.

I have Just brought some good condition 2003 Subaru Impreza (Blobeye) seats to go in it!

Before I get started, I wanted to see if anyone else had done this before and get possibly get some tips on how best to go about it.

Many thanks in advance, any ideas/help will be most appreciated!

There was a universal adapter kit for seats that was basically just a big plate with a load of holes in it...

Thanks buddy, I will have a good look into that.

It's trying to find something in the UK that's the biggest problem!

At least I have all the seat runners still attached to the seats, gives me something to work with.

Pics would help. Can you not just bolt the seats to the runners?
If it ticks over...leave it

Hey, sorry for the late response!
I don't think I am going to be able to just bolt these seats to the runners, as the guy that had it before made a bit of a mess of of them :s

I have been researching universal adapter kit's that could work and I have finally found something that should be perfect... and in the UK!

~ SUZUKI SJ413 DIRECT FIT SUBFRAMES ~
The site name is: www.sportseats4u.co.uk
Product code: COBU7D2X327

I have ordered up a pair but will take up to two weeks to arrive, as they are made to order.

I will post pictures of how I get on when it comes to fitting!

Thanks again for the help :-)
