These are the vehicle-specific fitting frames for the Ford Focus Mk1, covering cars built from October 1998 onwards. Part number 00499068.
The frames use the standard 345mm x 271mm bolt pattern, compatible with base-mount seats from Sparco, OMP, and Corbeau.
The Focus Mk1 frames are handed: driver and passenger frames are different. Select the position from the options on this page. If you are fitting both seats, add to the basket twice and choose each side separately. Price is per frame. Sparco sliding runners are recommended between the sub-frame and the seat for fore-aft adjustment and are available from the dropdown.
The Focus Mk1 covers the production run from October 1998 to approximately 2004. If your car is a Focus Mk2 (2005 onwards), a different frame is listed for that model and the Mk1 frame will not fit.
Photos are illustrative. Sub-frames vary substantially between vehicles and the Focus Mk1 frame may look quite different from the image shown. If you want to confirm the design before buying, contact us.
Have you written anything useful for my car?
Yes: Get the Ford Focus RS Mk2 Look Today, and Our Customer's Ford Focus Mk3 With Corbeau Seats And Schroth Harnesses. 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 Focus MK1. 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). 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 Sparco 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.
