you will need to weld it up .
the sports seats are basically 200is seats same big seats they you will find only in the 130is sport,gsi and 130ie corsa's.

thanks TAUzty the problem with the kadette/astra seats is that it doesn't have the level releasing the top part of the seat for people to get in the back...but if i can find the bottom part of one of those seats, i can just take off the frame.
welding is the last resort...but it's starting to look like the only option

do you have a contact for Faizel?
the level where you adjust the seat forward and the winder for up/down also broke off...probably just came loose. so i would need the whole bottom part.

why don't you want to weld? Just reinforce it while you are there.

@Gouraami, its not that i don't want to weld, it's just the mission of getting the seat off frame etc etc i don't have a lot of spare time, so it's difficult...
BUT, if any of you can recommend a guy that knows what his doing, then i'll go the welding route (if i don't find a replacement seat).
