Guest Savage Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 You need fiesta 3.5 subframes apparently. I had the same problem and gave up for a couple of other reasons. Ended up with a full Si wingbacks interior instead. The 5's and 6's are the same but the 5b is a much wider fitment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Feeble Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) Mk6 need the Fiesta subframes too... It's an easy job once you find the right car to get them off in a scrappy... Just look under the seats at the front, in the Fiesta, and if the rail closest to the centre of the car drops downwards at about a 30 degree angle for 50mm or so, they are the ones you need... The same as it'll be in your Mk5b, so just take a look at that and you should get me... lol, wish I had a pic!

Guest Feeble Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 The two separate rails are different. They will be fine, most likely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Feeble Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 The Fiesta seats come on two rails. They are not joined together... I don't know about the higher spec models, they might have a one piece subframe, but the lesser models, as in the one I used, definitely came in two parts... It's not an issue though and should be fairly straight forward! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
