An OMP direct fit subframe for the Ford Sierra Cosworth. Part number HC778-2646.
It shares a part number with the Escort Cosworth
Which is correct rather than an error, and it tells you something real about the cars. Our Escort Cosworth frame is HC778, and the Escort RS Cosworth is a Sierra Cosworth underneath: Ford built it on a shortened Sierra 4×4 floorpan with an Escort shell over the top.
So the seat mounting is shared, and one frame design covers both.
Which car, and it changes the approach
A three door RS500 is worth a great deal and should be kept entirely original. A four door Sapphire Cosworth is a considerably more usable proposition and plenty are still competing.
Tell us which you have and what it is for. If it is a historic or rally class car, tell us the class, because those rulebooks are frequently specific about seats and mounting.
The frame bolts to the factory mounting points so nothing is cut. Order twice for a pair.
Have you written anything useful for my car?
Yes: Safety Devices Ford Sierra Roll Cages Updated. 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 Ford Sierra Cosworth. 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.
