FAQs
Is this subframe suitable for road cars?
No, this subframe is designed specifically for competition vehicles and meets FIA/MUK requirements for racing and rallying. It is not intended or approved for use in standard road vehicles.
What type of seats can be mounted using this subframe?
This subframe is designed for competition seats that feature side mounts. It provides the necessary base to securely attach such seats.
Does this kit include the seat itself?
No, this kit includes the subframe components and weld-in receptacles only. The racing seat must be purchased separately.
What are the dimensions of the steel tubes included?
The kit includes two steel box section tubes, each measuring 35mm x 35mm and 600mm in length.
What is required for installation?
Installation requires professional welding expertise to securely attach the subframe components to the vehicle's chassis.
Can I adjust the height of my seat with this subframe?
While this subframe provides a level base, the final mounting height is determined by the seat itself and how the subframe is welded into the chassis. Adjustments to mounting plates might allow for minor height variations.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty achieving a level mount
Ensure the chassis mounting points are accurately prepared and use a spirit level throughout the welding process. Adjust the position of the chassis plates as needed before final welding.
Seat bolts do not align with receptacles
Verify that the subframe tubes were welded parallel to each other and at the correct distance apart, as specified by your seat manufacturer's mounting points. Slight adjustments to the angle of the receptacle plates may be needed during welding.
Concerns about weld integrity
Consult a professional welder experienced with automotive chassis fabrication. Ensure appropriate welding techniques and materials are used for steel.""

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This subframe requires professional welding to be integrated into the vehicle's chassis. The kit includes 35 x 35mm x 600mm box section tubes, 80 x 60 x 3mm plates for chassis welding, 60 x 40mm x 3mm plates for tube welding, and M8 seat bolt receptacles. Proper preparation of the chassis and tubes is essential before welding. Ensure the subframe is level and securely welded according to best practices.
Compatibility: The subframe is designed as a universal solution for most competition vehicles requiring FIA/MUK compliant seat mounting. It is intended for use with side-mount racing seats.

Care: As this product is welded into the vehicle, its care is tied to the vehicle's maintenance. Regularly inspect the welds for any signs of stress or damage. Keep the area around the subframe clean and free of debris. No specific maintenance is required for the subframe itself beyond ensuring the integrity of the welds.
