MK5 seats in a MKII
« on: 15 January 2009, 22:32 »
I have been scouting for new replacement seats recently and today i won a set of MKV GTI seats now the fun bit modding begins modding them in.
Has anyone here fitted non mk2/3 seats to the their mk2.I am thinking i will need to cut out the triangular shape mount for the fronts to allow the mk5's to sit on the floor and then weld the runners in.

I have mk4 seats in my mk2, went to the scrapyard with a generator and grinder/drill and removed every seat mounting front and rear, chopped off the triangular bit at the front and welded the mk4 mount up, chopped and moved the runner legs to make them fit the mk2 and bobs your mothers brother, mk2 seatbelt clips into the mk4 seatbelt holder as well.

Probably got lost in the "Great Crash of 08
