Title: Fitting Back Seats - What Do I Need ?
Post by: adarmo on July 06, 2011, 05:56:17 PM
Hi,

I have bins and I need seats, obviously I need the seats and the belts but do I need any other bits to complete the swap as I\'ve never seen an RX7 up close except for the one I\'ve bought.

Cheers

So the plastics etc are the same ?

I presume they are just lap belts.

Is there anything between the seats and the boot - currently I don\'t have anything there but it looks like something should be.

Boot carpet, side fixing brackets, your car may not have bolt holes, You need to drill or self tap bolt if no fixings
Rear seat belts, rear side panels, best bet is to. Do a swap with someone who wants bins.

Ive got seats and belts but bought some bins which I want to install. So there may be some synergy here.

There are some differences and a guy on FDUK was doing a swap with help from some of his mates.

If you take some pics of the bins as you take them off I may be able to help also.

Thanks guys I guess it\'s just simplest to find someone who wants to swap.

The bins look better and sell for more but are no good to me.

Neither are the rear seats unless everyone you know has no legs. I\'d swap you my seats gladly. They are a complete joke.

I have a 2 and a 4yr old - I\'m expecting them to fit in - hopefully for a couple of years

I have seats in mine and agree with Pantera Chris. Unless you are not very tall and can keep the front seats well forward,  I would say his comment about having no legs is very apt. I suppose that fitting child seats somehow is a possibility but with little headroom adapted bins ( for legs to dangle in ?) could be a possibility.
I\'m no expert, someone on here may well tell you different

You need a Ford focus mate, not an rx7!

If your car originally had bins from factory them you\'re going to need to drill and tap some holes to fit the rear seat back.

I\'ve got 4 kids so have converted a VW Transporter but I wanted a 2+2 for when I just have the little ones and thought the RX7 should do the job.

Otherwise I\'ll go and buy a Supra !

Problem was I bought the first one I saw (great price so I don\'t regret it).

I\'ll have to find a local car with seats to try them then

Cheers
