An OMP direct fit subframe for the Fiat Punto second series, built from 1999 to 2010. Part number HC797.
Check which Punto you have first
Three generations, three frames, and they do not interchange. If your car is from 1993 to 1999 it is a Mk1 and takes HC786. If it is a Grande Punto from 2005 it takes HC862. Everything between is this one.
The overlap years are where people order wrong, because the Mk2 and the Grande Punto were sold alongside each other for a period. Send us the registration if you are in any doubt.
Why installation is straightforward on this one
A front wheel drive floor with no transmission tunnel complications, which makes it one of the easier cars in this range to work in. If this is your first seat installation, that helps.
The Abarth GT and Sporting
The versions most often prepared for track use in this generation, and the reason the frame exists.
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, so OMP, Sparco and Corbeau shells fit alongside Recaro.
One frame per side.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Top 5 reclining seat choices for your Fiat Punto Mk2, including our fitting guide. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is car-specific, so match the vehicle in the product name to your exact car and generation. If you are unsure, 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.
