wondering if any one can lead me in the right direction on getting some bucket seats fitted into my coily in sydney, having drama's finding places to do it and was hoping someone on here might know of someone.

You will obviously need seat rails made up, However a few people have been pestering Fatzook to pump some out, So you can join the people pestering him and patiently wait till he does. That way all you will have to do is bolt them and your seats in.

He's making them for vitara'a  Coily's are a whole different thing again. You are right in saying that you will need seat rails made up to get the job done correctly and to a safe standard. Fucking coily's

I was going to fit some to mine..The idea i had was to pull the seats apart till you just have the rails,Cut the slider bits at a hight you want to be sitting at then weld some flat bar across the front and back to each rail to suit you buckets..Then you need to think about the seat belt mount.Just an idea hope it helps

I would strongly advice against welding.. The few cars I've been involved with the engineer much preferred them not to be welded. As he could garuntee the integrety of a certain size/grade of bolt, but not of the weld.
http://auszookers.com/index.php?name=Fo ... ting+seats Fatzook has a couple of good pictures of ways to do it... But then we are talking coilys so who knows what works.

Coilys suck! Their seat mounts are just silly.
Best way is to make an adapter between the new seats rails and the OEM coily floor mount locations.
But this is different for just about every seat, so if you are not confident, or able to do this yourself, then track down someone whi is qualified and let them do it. Its not something you want to get wrong.
