I would just bend it a little? Dont see the huge problem?

I have never seen one just drop in. I always dremel the hole out a tad.

I know Its not a massive problem, I'm just not sure which is the best approach as I've never done it before.

If I change the size of the hole should i use a washer to make up the difference, if so I think i might have a problem as it looks like the hole will end up too close to the upwards bend to use a washer?

 

How do you like those seats as for as comfort and support? Which model did you get?

Doesn't look like there is any lumbar support.

Thanks!

 

Make sure not to bend the bracket down in order to bolt it - Use a spacer of some sort. If you bend the bracket to install, that puts stress on the slider and you'll find the seat very difficult to slide.

 

@eengler2 - I havnt spent an aweful lot of time in them tbh, as the car is still off the road, but upto now im very happy with them comfort wise! They are Corbeau Forza (Forza Sport Seat), FIA approved just in case I, or any subsequent owner wants to use it on the track so id guess the support is pretty good...

@i3igpete - Yeee warping the frame is one of my worries with the soft persuasion approach, it sounds like drilling is probably the way to go. I was tending towards the hammer approach too :S.

Has anybody used these exact frames before? Corbeau USA's own direct fit frames.

I can almost guarantee they will not just drop in. But with a dremel you can get them to fit pretty quickly.

A slow easy bend with a pipe wrench works well, don't jerk on it though as you will risk over bending the tab.

 

Same as every one else says, just touch the holes with a die-grinder and it`ll bolt straight up..

 

Thanks for the advice all, I ended up using a dremel multi was a bit scared of 'persuading' incase it effected the runners.

Thanks again guys . Next up is battery (car isnt starting, i hope its just the battery :S), but some stripped nuts on the strut brace that trap the battery are going to make that fun aswell hehe.
