I need to know if anyone has done it on these forums yet? With those seats into that particular honda...

If so, how?

Thanks!

 

Send a PM to c61lude. Supposedly he has done it.

 

Ian did it like 2 years ago...... maybe longer

he cut the brackets off his stock seats and welded them onto the s2000 seats...... done deal. looks good

 

This isn't my car, I got this from PO.com


S2k seats with stock S2k brackets and sliders

Hardware Needed:
(x6) 7/16" -14 x 1.25 hex bolts
(x6) 7/16" lock nuts
(x2) 10mm x 1.25 x 1.25 bolts
(x4) 1/2" nuts
(x1) 3ft of 3/16" x 1.5 steel stock
(x6) stock mounting bolts
(x4) 7/16" washers

Tools:
dremel
drill and 7/16" and 10mm bits
jig saw / hack saw
wd40 (drill bit lube)
wrenches/sockets

Overview:
S2k seats sit ~ 2" lower then stock seats
to raise the seats use the steel stock to make six brackets



the smaller brackets are for the front mounts
the larger brackets are for the outer rear mounts

Bracket construction:
to construct the front brackets cut the steel to length (depends on desired seat height) and drill a lower 10mm (stock bolt diameter) hole
the upper hole needs to be offset from the lower an amount equal to the height u want to raise the front of the seat; this is a 7/16" hole

the rear bracket size will depend on the height of the seat
the higher it is, the shorter the rear bracket
follow the procedure for the fronts to fabricate the rears, drill two holes, 10mm and 7/16"

to help the drill do its dang dang use penetrating oil, or wd40
also progressivelly drill the holes from small to large to speed things up
i sanded and painted the brackets to prevent rust, thats your call if u want to do that

Install:
start with the rear inside mount
this is the only hole on the stock S2k brackets that will need to be enlargened



place a 1/2" nut (raises rear of seat) btwn the floor and the seat bracket, then a 10mm x 1.25 x 1.25 bolt with a washer through the top of the bracket



the outside rear mount is where the long bracket is used
align the floor’s mounting hole and the smaller bracket hole, then the larger hole with the S2k's bracket hole
secure the stock floor mount to the bracket with a stock bolt
place a 7/16” lock nut below the fabricated bracket, then a1/2" nut between the fabricated bracket and the S2k seat’s bracket, then a 10mm x 1.25 x 1.25 bolt with a washer through the top of the S2k bracket



the front brackets bolt up to the stock floor mounts using a stock bolt through the smaller diameter hole in the fabricated bracket
the fabricated bracket then bolts up to the seats bracket with a 7/16" -14 x 1.25 hex bolt and a 7/16” lock nut
driver side / pasenger side of drivers seat
the distance between the S2k front mounts is ~3/4" wider then the distance between the stock floor mounts, one of the fabricated front brackets needs to be angled to make up for the diffrence
also the angle of the S2k seat front mounts is lower then the stock floor mounts, the S2k brackets need to be bent down



finally connect the seat belt indicator plugs beneath the seat

Results:



better brackets could be made by bending the steel to raise the rear of the seat
u could also bend the front brackets to match the lower angle of the S2k mounts

 

man them seats look good brian, i wish it was my car, but in red though

 

that DIY doesnt look like the safest way to mount seats.. but 10/10 for effort tho...

however it didnt resolve the issue of reclining foward(when ppl want to get into the back seat) as it was originally designed for the s2000?

Coz I realise I can just get custom rails made up.. but it wont resolve the issue as mentioned above...

Unless you see people selling them used here. I've sold S2000 seats anywhere from $400-$700
