Sparco subframe bucket correct number - Interior Forum - Peugeot 306 GTi-6 & Rallye Owners Club

Post #1

I need a subframe for my sparco bucket seat.

I saw on internet that the Sparco reference for our cars and Citroen ZX was 499054. But I read on spanish forums that reference did not fit propperly to the 306 and they said the correct number is 499049 which appears on internet for the Citroen AX/Saxo an Peugeot 106

I wanted fit the subframe to the original bolts without modifications

Does anyone really knows which of the two numbers fit to our cars?

Remember that we drive on the wrong side Razz

and our driver seat is your passanger seat Thumbs up

the ones advertised on the Demon Tweeks website under 306 fit perfectly (I have 2 in mine) and use the factory bolts etc.

So, this Sparco with 499054 reference number fit perfect as driver or passanger seat, isn't it?

Another experience?

On spanish forums they say me again that I need weld a little piece of metal to fit perfectly the 499054 seat subframe and the AX/Saxos/106 with the reference 499049 fit perfect

With these subframes do the bucket seats sit with the wheel directly in the center of them?

I have just recieved the sparco subframe, and they do not fit in my car. The side bolts measure in my car is 35cm and the subframe measure is only 31cm

Furthermore the subframe holes do not fit into the 306 tunnel so I will make new holes if I would install the bucket

there are 2 parts to it, the main frame, plus an L shape bracket that bolts to the car - have you got both bits?

Yes, I have them but the holes are too near

Post #11

Mine fit perfectly using the same part number 00499054

Has this helped lower the driving position ?

Depends if your using side mounts, with my seat in the lowest position on the side mounts my seat sits lower than the subframes due to the design of the subframe where they drop down in the middle with the u shaped bars.... if that makes sense

Post #14

Ha not really I want to lower my seat not sure if it's worth cutting all the mounts out and welding in some seat bars. Or wether to get some of these

If you have seen the subframes you will see that the bars going from inboard to outboard are lower than the brackets you mount to the exhaust tunnel and sill, with the seat in the lowest position on the side mounts the bottom of the seats go below the height of the exhaust tunnel

Post #16

Right I've got you now thanks what seats are you using ? Sorry for the thread hijack

Closer: The holes do not match

Post #21

The original measure between side holes

Post #22

The Sparco subframe measure

Post #23

Try loosely assembling it and doing up the 2 bolts by the door last, if not fit spacers or washers to the 2 bolts by the door to allow alignment

Post #24

The Sparco instructions include inside the subframe package

Post #25

That's all XD

I do not know whats is the different between the spanish cars and GB cars (moreover the driver side) but as you can check, that is not fit into my car
