The Audi TT Mk1 (1998 to 2006) is a two-seater sports coupe with a compact cabin. OMP’s HC817 is the vehicle-specific subframe for the Mk1 floor, making it the correct frame if you are replacing seats in an early TT rather than a later Mk2 or Mk3, which use different mounting point layouts.
Steel, powder-coated black. Both bolt patterns: 345mm x 271mm for OMP/Sparco seats and 405mm x 290mm for Recaro. Compatible with Corbeau, OMP, Recaro, and Sparco base-mount seats.
Sold as a single. Available in RHD driver side and RHD passenger side. No bolts supplied.
The TT Mk1 cabin is tight compared to a saloon, which is worth considering when choosing the seat. A high-bolster competition seat can make access difficult in a car with a low roofline. If the car is primarily a road car with occasional track days, a lower-bolster option gives easier day-to-day use. If it is a dedicated track car, a proper FIA bucket with side mounts will give the correct support and head clearance.
When ordering, confirm which seat you are fitting so the correct bracket between frame and seat can be identified.
Have you written anything useful for my car?
Yes: Top 5 reclining seat choices for your Audi TT MK1, including our fitting guide, and Top 5 reclining seat choices for your Audi TT Mk2, including our fitting guide. 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 Audi TT 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.
