A Planted Technology seat bracket for the Toyota Celica, 1970 to 1977. Part number SB197.
The first generation, the TA22 and RA20 cars, and the one Toyota styled after American muscle coupes. The second generation takes SB171.
This listing sits in our Porsche category, which is a filing error on our side. We have now found the same fault on the 2000 to 2005 Celica and the 1994 to 1999 Celica, so it is a pattern across the range rather than a one off and we are correcting all of them.
Getting genuinely scarce
First generation Celicas have thinned out badly, particularly in this country, and the survivors are being restored rather than modified. That makes a reversible installation the right call: the bracket picks up the factory mounting points and nothing is cut.
Practical
Fifty year old Japanese floors deserve a proper look with the carpet up before you spend anything.
A period trimmed shell suits one of these far better than a modern bucket. Handed, so order twice for a pair.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: The Best Bucket Seats and Sports Recliners for the Toyota Celica GT4, and Lexus Planted Technology Frames Updated For 2026. 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 Toyota Celica (1970-1977). 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?
Check the bolt pattern in the specification against your seat. The Compatible seats tab above lists what bolts straight on. 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 Planted frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.
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.
