How to: Vader-e36 seat install

[RobertK]

I have some in stock but they are not powder coated yet. I usually sell them direct through www.kadunza.com but if you don't mind getting a set without coat PM me. Otherwise I will have some mid Dec. once they come back from PC.

In the Sedan, where does the seat belt attach to? We don't have those rails common in the coupes. It's pretty snug there.

Thanks in advance!

On the side of the seat there is a bolt the original e30 anchor can use to bolt to the seat.

Just finished installing these suckers tonight. Those brackets made this a breeze!



I'll post another pick of the modified seat belt rod soon. I made it so that it attaches to the bolt coming through the adapter plate nearest the original mounting point.

With the seat in this position, does the centre of the seat line up with the centre of the steering wheel?

Can't wait to put vaders in my e30!

[Gruelius]

And do you sit higher or lower than with e30 standard seats?

And do you sit higher or lower than with e30 standard seats?

They sit slightly higher due to the way they are built but not substaintally. I'm 6ft an sit comfortably in my seats.

I dont think convertibles are able to take advantage of these brackets. I have a vert and a coupe. The vert is a couple inches narrower in the floor board because of added rails bmw placed on the side of the car to stiffen the chassis. I couldnt fit the vader seats in the convertible, but didnt want to redesigned the brackets either. At the time, it seemed like it would be a lot of trouble, so I stopped.

[dmjensen]

Will a vader fit into a vert though? Physicaly? Because I'm able to make my own brackets. I just don't have vaders yet to try with.

[RobertK]

Yes, takes a different style bracket design though.

We just had 2 sets made up of the new vert design for testing. All I can say is that even with the new design its a very tight fit but can be done.

Does anyone happen to still have the v2 dimensions?

Cant seem to find a pre-made set in Australia and shipping prices make purchasing them from the states a little expensive.

[Bullhead]

I wish I could do this but every set I find is $1000 or more lol. But dang they look good.

[jeenyus]

Sorry to resurrect this, but does anyone know if these dimensions are the same for Z3M seats (very similar)? If so, that would be awesome and really make things easy for me. If not, I will get under there and do the measurements. TIA
