Fitting Honda S2000 seats in a Cerbera

[An Marcach]

I remember a few years ago someone fitted a set of Honda S2000 seats to a Cerb and as far as I remember it was a fairly tight squeeze but a nice job once it was done.

Anyway back to today and it turns out I now have a set of S2000 seats (the ones with the mesh headrests) sitting in my shed which I'm thinking of fitting in my car.

Before I start to go about fitting them I'd like to know have any of you who did this job drawn up any details of the brackets you needed to make to get the seats to fit or have you any pictures of the seats before you fitted them with the new brackets attached and also if you've pictures of the finished job with the seats in the car.

Why?

Often the problem with changing the seats is to get them mounted low enough.

I was thinking why too. I've driven a S2000, the seats were fine but nothing special and of course they won't be sculpted to give rear passengers more leg room.

The seats in my car are not comfortable and I end up with serious backache after about 50km

That's why

Series 1 seats are much more comfy IMO, could you get a pair of those?

That's what I have



The fact that I have a back made of chocolate doesn't help, I need a seriously firm seat to stop myself from falling apart

Fair enough - seats seem to be a very personal thing so can understand where you are coming from. Thankfully I have no problem with Cerb seats.

Would it be possible for an upholsterer to improve the firmness of your current seats? Presumably the seats have foam inserts within them to create the shape. If you swapped out the current foam for something firmer that might do the trick, they might also be able to firm up the springing within the 'chassis' of the seat. I had this done when I restored my 40 year old VW.

This route would save all the hassle of making brackets, etc. etc. whilst retaining the original looks.
