i was wondering if any one has a write up on how to swap del sol seats on to an ef seat frame rail..... i read that you can do it and i tried but .. i searched but there were no awanser in any of the post.

 

no one has nothing ...

 

I just did it...hard as hell because the guy welded the rails. Anyways heres what you do 'and this is into a 89 CRX so i dont know anything else'... you swap seat pans and keep the arm from the del sol seat that is on the outer side "side with the latch to recline seat"...then that can bolt into the mid screw on the seatpan, then the seat sits nice. Next you have to drill one that holds the arm and seat pan towards the front, if not the back of the seat will pivot around that one bolt...i did three and is firm as hell "good stuff" then you have to shave the cover of the seats...(plasic part on outer edge) to move back and forth because it will hit the floor...maybe only like 1/2 inch not bad...ill try to get pics from my girlfriends camera and show you sit really nice and low...they are perfect...

 

yeah pics would awesome.... thanks for the write up.... i will read that a few hundred times and try again

 

no problem

 

bbboooooo, stick with the CRX Si seats. IMO, you loose saftey when doing something like that.

 

may i ask how safety is lost?

 

ok i see what u mena by swap the seats pans but if u keep the side wiht the arm to recline what about the toher side that has an l bracket that hold the top and botton what do i do for that side?

little morning bump

 

seat pans are just that - metal pans you sit on, its under the cushioning.

OP: think this out good and hard, cause DelSlo seat look like ****, and out of place in our cars, and I wouldnt be suprised if 2 months from now your missin the CRX seats.

It's not safe b/c if you assemble the seats shittaly (is that a word?) then when you get in a wreck the most important thing in the car (you) might be flying around regardless of having on a seatbelt or not, cause a belt aint gonna matter if your not stationary during a crash

Hahaha first off i think they look great in my car and i have gotten many compliments on them... and acutally they are a huge upgrade when you have torn up seats... i have actually had these seats for about half a year mounted wrong...becuase the jackass who gave them to me welded the rails & i love these seats never looked back...
And i dont see what you mean by stationary when the brackets all hook up perfect and self tappering bolts make the seat more steardy than stock... so corked1260 dont worry about it just make sure to make it safe i have all the bolts minus one in and i have put in at least four additional self tapering bolts in for support...holds way better than my old seats and is as comfy as hell...safe self fabrication owns

P.S. GoCRXGO...i like the wire tuck write up

Haha thanks for the props.
Your absolutely right I should have clarified, the safety issue is only an issue if your a dumbass. If you know what your doin, and do it right, its all gravay baybay

 

ok so i switch the seat pans but what about the bracket that hold the top and bottom together on the delsol seats (not on the seat reclingin lever side ) and do i use one of the seat rails from the sol seats or just the ef

 

you keep the whole bottom from your CRX seat...on my CRX pan it had a same set up on the other side (seatbelt location right?).I'll try to get pictures of my seat tomorrow because i only sahved my passanger seat on the bottom for it to move...i need to do mine and install fogs so i might do it tomorrow. But yah just keep the arm going through the outer part and the actual seat and then just the pan and rails from the other seat...you'll see once you start. I went into this not knowing crap and just played with it and got lucky let me know if you got any more questions; I am happy to try to answer them

 

welli got the pan out and the part that hold top and bottom together(part that swivels back and fouth not that sdie wiht the lever to recline the other side) does not meet up wiht the hole to put it in

 

oh and i will also add in doing this to ef sedan seats so i hope that doesnt change anything cuz if it does iwill feel liek a dumbass for have ing you wast your time

 

you may have to put the other side on the inner part (side with no recliner lever...the top part has a ring that wraps around the seat pans nub...you may have to put that into the inside and use a bolt locking washer and nut...
