Direct fit subframes for the Vauxhall Cavalier Mk2, also sold as the Ascona, made to bolt straight to the original floor mounts.
Check the floor before you order the seat
On a car of this age the metal around the seat mounting points is worth looking at properly, and the moment to do it is with the old seat out and before the new one arrives.
A frame is only as good as what it bolts to. If the floor needs attention, far better to find out with an empty cabin and time in hand than with a new seat sitting in its box waiting to go in.
What you get
Base frame and sliding runner, included in the price. Sparco, Planted, OMP, Recaro and Corbeau all charge for the runner on top.
What it will take
Cobra base mountable buckets and reclining sport seats, 291mm or 405mm wide handle. It will not take a side mounted seat without adaption bars or side mounts.
Tell us the seat at checkout. Priced per frame, which fits one seat.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Vauxhall Cavalier (Ascona) Mk2. 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?
Cobra design each tailored frame around a particular seat, so check the Compatible seats tab above for the designed pairing. Other seats with a matching bolt pattern can work as cross-compatible components rather than a designed set, so ask us before mixing brands.
Do I keep fore-and-aft adjustment?
Yes, and unlike most brands the sliding runner comes included with a Cobra frame, in the price. That changes the like-for-like comparison against other makers, where the runner is a separate part on top. Our guide to sliding runners covers how they work.
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.
