    Hi,

    can someone get back to me about my issue with the seat mounts that i purchased?

    They sit too far apart for the seat to fit into, i have Automac mounts which are in essence the same thing but they fit fine:-

    How did you contact us previously?

    You need to space the gap, they're a universal frame, they can't fit all seats to the mm.

    Kam, it was via the contact us section on the site.

    They are labelled very clearly on the site as BMW E36/E46 seats so hardly universal? My Automac ones are specific to an E36 and fit every seat i have put into them?

    What is your email address?

    They're universal in terms of seat fitment, not car.
    That's what you're saying? When they're bolted to the car, the seat is narrower than the frames?

    I must say, I have these for my passenger side with an older version Sparco Pro2000 and fit without any problem (y)

    All seats are not the same, I have these and Sparco seats fit and Corbeaus don't.

    What seat is it? I was under the impression that all 'standard' width side mounted bucket seats were the same width (approximately 400mm)

    I know, you said. We don't have any contact from you - I'm looking into that, but we get loads.
    As above, you'll need to space the seat. Not all seats are the same. Send it back if you don't want to :)

    Wrong.
