A Sparco direct fit sub-frame for the Rover 200 Series. Part number 00499088.
These get built on a budget, and the sub-frame is the wrong place to save the money. It spreads seat load into the mounting points the factory designed for it, rather than into holes drilled through a floorpan by somebody with an angle grinder and an afternoon. That difference does not show in a photograph and it matters a great deal in an accident.
Fitment
Steel, on the 345mm by 271mm base mount pattern, taking Sparco, OMP and Corbeau base mount seats. The old claim on this range that the frames suit only same brand seats was never right for this spacing.
Side mount competition shells need side mounts or adaption bars above the frame.
Ordering
One frame per seat, handed between RHD driver and RHD passenger. Order twice for the pair.
Tell us the seat you are fitting so we can confirm the combination. Frames in this range are either full replacements or adaption bars depending on the car, and the photograph is illustrative.
Check the floor around the mounting points before you order. It is a cheaper problem to find now.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Rover 200 Series. 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.
