An OMP direct fit subframe for the Skoda Fabia Mk2, chassis 5J. Part number HC814-6172.
Check the chassis code, not the model name
The Mk1 and Mk2 Fabia do not share floor mounting points. This frame is cut for the 5J, and the Mk1 takes its own.
If you are not sure which you have, send us the registration and we will confirm before anything ships.
What else is in this family
The HC814 stem covers the small VW Group cars of that era: the Polo 9N, Seat Ibiza Mk3 6L and the Fabia Mk1.
Worth knowing if you are moving a seat between cars, because within that group it generally goes.
Why a Fabia
Skoda have a real rally record with this shape, and a good number of 5J Fabias are built as road rally or stage cars rather than track cars. That changes what the seat is for: you want support through long stages and compatibility with a harness, rather than the lowest possible hip point.
Tell us which you are building and we will point you at the right shell.
Fitting and ordering
Steel, base mount, on the mounting points already in the floor. Nothing is drilled.
Two bolt patterns, 345mm by 271mm for Sparco, OMP and Corbeau and 405mm by 290mm for Recaro. Sold singly and handed, so order twice for a pair.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: A Definitive Guide to Safety Devices Roll Cages for Skoda Models, and Customer Car: BMW E39 With Bucket Seats Fitted Using Planted Technology Subframes. 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 Skoda Fabia Mk2 (5J). 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.
