An OMP direct fit subframe for the Skoda Fabia Mk1. Part number HC814-6817.
Mk1, not Mk2
The two do not share floor mounting points. The Mk2, chassis 5J, takes a different part, and ordering on the model name rather than the generation is how a frame ends up going back.
Send us the registration if you are not certain which you have.
The rest of the HC814 family
The same stem covers the small VW Group cars of that period: the Polo 9N and the Seat Ibiza Mk3 6L.
Handy if you are moving a seat between cars, because within that group it generally carries over.
What you are replacing
A Mk1 Fabia is old enough now that the standard seat has usually lost its foam and most of its side support. The gain from a proper shell here is larger than on a modern car, because you are replacing something tired rather than something merely unsuitable.
These are also cheap cars to build, which is exactly why the seat is worth spending on: it is the part you are in contact with for the whole session.
The detail
Steel, base mount, bolting to the mounting points already in the floor, so nothing is drilled and the originals come out whole.
Two bolt patterns: 345mm by 271mm for Sparco, OMP and Corbeau, 405mm by 290mm for Recaro. Sold singly and handed, so order twice for a pair.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: A Definitive Guide to Safety Devices Roll Cages for Skoda Models, 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 Skoda Fabia 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.
