An OMP direct fit subframe for the Fiat Tipo. Part number HC740-2575.
The base part number belongs to the Alfa Romeo 155, which is built on this car’s floorpan. One design covers both.
The Tipo is more significant than it looks
Fiat built it on a platform that went on to carry the Alfa 155, the Lancia Dedra and Delta, and the Fiat Tempra and Coupe. It won European Car of the Year in 1989 and it was one of the first mass market cars designed substantially with computer aided engineering.
The Tipo Sedicivalvole with the 2.0 16 valve is the version worth building, sharing its engine with the Lancia Delta of the period.
Which makes the frame useful across a family
If you are working on a Tempra, a Dedra or a Delta of that era, send us the registration and we will check whether this frame suits it, because platform sharing this wide often extends to the seat area.
What else you need
Side mounts and the seat. Both bolt patterns drilled.
Italian cars of this era rust. Get the carpet up and look properly.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Top 5 reclining seat choices for your Fiat Tipo, 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 made for the Fiat Tipo. 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.
