A Planted Technology seat bracket for the VW Scirocco, second generation, 1981 to 1992. Part number SB427.
The Mk2 Scirocco takes its own part number rather than sitting in a family, which is unusual for a Volkswagen of this era. The Mk1 Scirocco shares the SB088 Golf Mk1 family, and the Mk3 shares the Golf Mk5 part. This one stands alone.
The Scala and the GTX
The 16 valve cars are what people chase now. Mk2 Sciroccos were cheap for decades and have started moving, particularly the later 16v models, so a reversible installation is worth having in a way it was not ten years ago.
The floor check is a real one
These rust, and forty year old ones that were cheap for most of their lives have often had work. Get the carpet up and look properly at the metal round the mounting points. If it is soft, sort the metal before a seat goes near it.
Practical
Light car, so ask us about lighter shells rather than the heaviest steel option. A period trimmed shell also suits a Mk2 Scirocco better than a modern carbon bucket.
Handed, so order twice for a pair.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Lexus Planted Technology Frames Updated For 2026, and Customer Car: Subaru Impreza With Corbeau RRS Seats and Planted Technology Brackets. 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 VW Scirocco [2nd Generation] (1981-1992). 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.
