Bucket Seats in a 190E?

[james95s]

Hello

Has anyone here fitted bucket seats into a Mercedes 190E? I am trying to find out if I need tailored subframes or whether the original ones could be used? I use the car for the odd track day so want something that offers a bit more support than the standard seats. These are the ones i'm looking at - Bucket Seats. It says they come with sliders but I know they are unlikely to bolt straight in. I'm not bad with my hands so can do basic mods to the subframes but if it is a really big job then id rather take it to a garage to do. Has anyone here fitted seats like this and if so how big of a job was it?

Any help would be great!

Mate, get a set of standard seats and rip the runners off , weld new seats on , simples or alternatively buy my custom recaros with frames already fitted off me

The 190 Cosworths had semi bucket seats with side bolsters and would fit directly. Would be difficult to rig a full harness though I would imagine?

I fitted Cobra monaco's in a CLK w208 in the past... we had to make the seat frames... only took about 20mins with a mig and a grinder and some elbow grease...
