MK4 Golf buckets into MK3

[mehmettuysuz]

As above, been offered a pair of OMP bucket seats with mk4 golf subframes, will the subframes fit into a mk3 ibiza?
Thanks

If they are OMP mk4 Golf sub-frames, then they will fit into the mk3 Ibiza. OMP list the same part numbers for both cars HC/780/S and HC/780/D. To make then fit the mk4 Golf they have a T-shaped bracket which bolts onto the single front mounting of the sub-frame and allows it to attach to the two front bolt holes in the Golf. For the Ibiza, you remove the T-shaped bracket and attach the sub-frame directly to the Ibiza single front mount. You can still use the original sprung pin for the front mounting, as is used for the adjustment of the standard seat (you may have to drill-out a mounting hole on the sub-frame to fit), but I would recommend replacing this with a nut and bolt, as this makes the seat feel much more solid in use.
