  10. After bolting on the seat belt buckle, you can now move on to the seat. Bolt the side mounts on to the seat first. This prevents the seats from being stretched and damaged if the side mounts were too far apart being bolted into the rail first. Since this is a non recline able seat, position the seat on the side mounts to the preferred seating position.

A 2nd pair of hands might be useful for this as to make sure that the rail is lined up properly on the holes of the side mount. Line up the holes and loosely push the bolts through and thread the nut on.

  14. Depending on the side of the the seat, the seat belt wires may be really long or really short. A good way to keep them from being pinched and keeping the install clean would be to wrap the wires through the brackets and sliders. We used zip ties to tie them down into the bracket for that clean look.

  15. Give the all the bolts on the seat and rail a once over to make sure they're all tight. it is now time to bolt the seat into the car. We did both sides of the car so a matching pair of bucket seats will be shown. Line up the seat bracket to the holes of the chassis and use the stock bolts to bolt the new seats back in.

    • Begin by assembling the seat bracket purchased separately. An aftermarket seat will not fit in OEM seat rails/brackets. Install may vary between manufacturers (Sparco, Bride, PCI, etc.)

    • Slide the OEM seat back and loosen the two front bolts using an E10 Torx socket.

    • Slide the OEM seat forwards and loosen the two rear bolts using the same Torx socket.

    • Slide the OEM seat back and take out the two front bolts to access the plugs under the seat.

    • Disconnect the the blue plug by pressing the top release tab.

    • Release the yellow tab by pushing the release tab inwards.

    • Disconnect the white plug by pressing the release tab at the bottom.

    • Reconnect the seatbelt and seatbelt wiring under the seat.

    • A resistor can be purchased for the disconnected airbag wire. This will prevent the airbag light from appearing lit up on the dash.

    • Tighten all bolts that connect the seat bracket to the floor.

    • Make sure that all seat bracket and seat bolts are tightened and the seat is correctly adjusted.
