An OMP direct fit subframe for the Seat Leon Mk1. Part number HC780-Leon.

Shares its floor with most of that VW generation

The Mk1 Leon sits on the platform that also carries the Golf Mk4, Bora, Audi A3 8L and Ibiza Mk2 6K, which is why they all share the HC780 base part number. The Golf Mk3, Lupo GTI and Polo Mk2 are on the same stem.

If you have seen a seat working in one of those, it very likely carries over. Ask us and we will confirm rather than have you guess.

The Cupra R is the one that gets built

And it is quick enough to need the seat. A Mk1 Leon of that specification carries real pace, and the standard seat was designed for a hatchback rather than for the power the hot versions ended up with.

Cars of this age are also past the point where the original foam is doing much, so you are usually replacing something tired.

The frame

Steel, base mount, on the mounting points already in the floor. Nothing drilled, originals come out whole.

Two bolt patterns: 345mm by 271mm for Sparco, OMP and Corbeau base mount seats, and 405mm by 290mm for Recaro. Sold singly and handed, so order twice for a pair.

What's included?

Photos are for illustration: It is very important to point out that the main product photos are entirely for illustration only. With over 1000 different frames available for different vehicles and applications, the manufacturer images provided are entirely illustration. What you receive may differ from this image.

What will be in the box? There are several types of seat frames which may be supplied depending on the vehicle and application. You may receive 1 of the following 4 types. If you are using them with a certain seat, please contact us in advance for professional advice.

#1. A full replacement frame with a sliding runner and resisitor kit
#2. A full replacement frame with a sliding runner
#3. A full replacement frame only
#4. An adaption bracket kit

Additional seat belt brackets: Each seat frame can be used for a variety of applications including road car reclining seats throuh to Motorsport FIA seats. Seat belt brackets are not required in a range of application so manufacturers generally do not supply them with their frame kits. If you require seat belt brackets please contact us in advance

NOT SUITABLE FOR OEM/FACTORY seats removed from other vehicles

Bolt point tolerances:

Please note that OMP, Sparco and various other brands have a +/- 10mm tolerance on the bolt point locations on each of their sub-frames. This means that when installing the equipment into your vehicle, you may find that one or more of the bolt points may need extending for a perfect fit.

This is normal and, when installed by a skilled professional, it may only add five minutes to the total installation time. A prime example is the OMP Renault Clio MK3 frames and the BMW E46 frames as two bolt points need extending by 5mm in 75% of installations.

Drilling of frames and equipment may be required to complete your installation.

Matching seats and frames:

There are over half a dozen different bolt patterns in the industry for base mounted seats. There are over 30 different bolt patterns for side mounted seats. Aftermarket frames from different brands will have different bolt location points.

Seats and frames are not a direct fit between brands. Seat frames are also not suitabled for OEM seats (Fitted into a vehicle from the factory) Please ensure to contact us for professional advice before purchasing your seat frames. We will be able to provide you a recommendation as to which seat frame is right for which seat.

Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Top 5 reclining seat choices for your Seat Leon Mk3, including our fitting guide, and Customer Car: BMW E39 With Bucket Seats Fitted Using Planted Technology Subframes. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.

Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Seat Leon MK1. Chassis code and years matter more than the badge, as floor pans change between generations, so if your car sits near a changeover year, send us the registration and we will confirm before you order.

Which seats does it take?
It takes seats drilled 345mm x 271mm (the Sparco and OMP seat pattern) and 405mm x 290mm (the Recaro seat pattern). If your seat is not listed, tell us what you run and we will confirm the fit.

Do I keep fore-and-aft adjustment?
Only with a sliding runner between the frame and the seat, which is a separate part on OMP frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.

Base mount or side mount, and does it matter?
This is a base-mount frame: the seat bolts down through its base, the simpler stack that suits seats with a flat bottom and keeps the install low-fuss. Our guide on base mount versus side mount explains the whole fitting stack.

Is this for the driver or passenger side?
Both sides are available on this listing, pick driver or passenger side at the point of order (sides listed are for right-hand-drive cars). Left-hand-drive car? Ask us, as the sides swap over and availability varies by model.
