A Planted Technology seat bracket for the Mazda MX-6, second generation, 1992 to 1997. Part number SB285.
The MX-6 shares its platform and its KL-DE V6 with the Ford Probe of the same years, which we list under a separate part number. If you are hunting mechanical parts, the Probe is where to look, because there are more of them.
Getting genuinely rare
Very few second generation MX-6s survive in this country and interior parts effectively do not exist new. That is the practical argument for a bolt in bracket: the original seats come out whole and can go back in, and nothing gets cut on a car you will not easily find another of.
Store the originals and their fixings somewhere dry and label them.
What the car is
A front wheel drive coupe with a smooth, high revving V6, built to cover distance more than to attack a circuit. The standard seat reflects that: comfortable and offering nothing laterally.
Practical
Thirty years old and rarely cherished. Get the carpet up and look at the metal round the mounting points before you spend, because a bracket can only feed seat load into sound structure.
Handed, so order twice for a pair.
Have you written anything useful for my car?
Yes: Corbeau PSR Seats In A Mazda MX-5 Mk1: The One Bracket That Takes Them, and Top 5 Bucket Seats For Your Mazda MX-5 Mk4 (ND), And One Kit That Fits Them All. Those are written around the same car, from real fittings and customer questions, so they are worth a look before you decide.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Mazda MX-6 (2nd Generation). 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?
Check the bolt pattern in the specification against your seat. The Compatible seats tab above lists what bolts straight on. 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 Planted frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.
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.
