An OMP direct fit subframe for the Ford Puma. Part number HC793.
Worth knowing: this base part number is shared with our Fiesta Mk4 frame, which carries a suffix. That is correct rather than an error, because the Puma is built on the Mk4 Fiesta floorpan.
The Racing Puma
Ford built around five hundred, and they are worth serious money now. If yours is one, keep everything original that you can: the frame bolts to the factory mounting points, so the standard seats come out whole and go back in.
An ordinary 1.7 Puma is a different proposition. They are cheap, light and handle beautifully, which is why they still turn up in club events.
Weight
A Puma is light and a heavy steel shell gives back a real slice of that. Ask us about the lighter GRP options if you are building one properly.
What else you need
Side mounts and the seat. OMP frames carry two bolt patterns rather than one. 345mm by 271mm is the spacing Sparco, OMP and Corbeau base mount seats all use, and 405mm by 290mm is Recaro, so an OMP frame takes a Recaro where a Sparco frame will not. Cobra work to their own 291mm by 330mm spacing, so a Cobra seat needs multi hole side mounts.
Order twice for a pair. Check the floor with the carpet up, given the age.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Ford Puma. 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.
