An OMP direct fit subframe for the Alfa Romeo 155. Part number HC740.
This is the base part, and the Fiat Tipo takes HC740-2575. That is correct rather than an error: the 155 is built on the Fiat Tipo floorpan, which caused a certain amount of unhappiness among Alfa purists at the time and is genuinely useful to know when you are hunting for parts.
The touring car history is real
The 155 won the DTM in 1993 with the V6 TI, and the British Touring Car Championship in 1994. Alfa’s aggressive interpretation of the aero regulations in the BTCC that year caused an argument that ran all season.
That history is why a Tipo based saloon still gets built thirty years on.
The road cars
The Q4 with the Lancia Integrale four wheel drive system and the 2.0 Twin Spark are the ones people chase.
What else you need
Side mounts and the seat. Steel, black powder coat, no bolts. Both bolt patterns drilled, 345 by 271mm and 405 by 290mm.
These rust. Get the carpet up before you spend.
Have you written anything useful for my car?
Yes: Customer Question: Fitting Cobra GT3 Historic Seats To A 1972 Alfa Romeo GTV 1750, and Customer Car: BMW E39 With Bucket Seats Fitted Using Planted Technology Subframes. 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 Alfa Romeo 155. 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.
