Gt4 Seats Into A T18

[Valandor]

i just got some seats from a gt4 and i am going through the crap to modify them to fit a t18.

 

only problem is the rails are a part of the metal body for the seats on both sides so i have no idea on how to get them to fit.

 

any help would be fantastic as i don't really want to have gt4 tops and t18 bottoms might look a bit odd not to mentoin the lack of comfort.

 

cheers in advance

the peice of carpet is to show you the distance differance between the holes

by the looks of it, the front mounting points are already bent over, but I'm assuming they are not quite in the right spot?

if they are, then just bolt them in.

if they are not, get a good bit of 90* angle steel, weld it inside, or over the top of the stock bent over mount, then put a hole in in the right spot to bolt it down.

hope that makes sense. i say use angle because if you use a flat peice of steel you only have hte one surface to weld, if you use the angle you weld to the top and the front. makes it stronger :)

 

with the rear, going by memory of corollas, they are not flat, but angled, i would bend the stock GT4 mounts to the right angle. and using a good solid peice of flat steel weld it to the GT4 mount and put a hole so it fits the corolla point.

 

THEN, as there may be a little flex/high stress on the weld, build a box of sorts to sit under the stock GT4 point, that sits down onto the ground. so there is no flex...make it from steel of course.

with a little effort should be able to hide it pretty well and make it all look quite stock.

this stuff you can weld with an arc, so it is quite nice and easy to do.

have fun :y:

sorry for the slow reply, i didnt get an email notification of the reply.
