Conventional Car Seat Assembly:
Construction:
seat frame
provides the structure of the seat (āskeletonā)
made of machined metal
...
NOTE: as seen in the top of the seat frame, those two cylinders allow for inclusion of head rest
look into alloys / inform Sheila
in some cases even made of carbon fibre
BMW i3 seats
...
to reduce weight look into weight reduction cuts
circular cuts in the following frame
...
Wire frame
provide a structure for the padding/foamĀ
seen by those thin, wavelike metal wires
...
Overview of structure

Mounting (as mounting was carbon fibre to carbon fibre, an adhesive will be used so the following does not apply):
Aftermarket bucket seat consists of two components
bottom frame
side frame
bottom frame mounts DIRECTLY to the chassis
with four mounting holes on the bottom
IMPORTANT: ASK/RESEARCH IF THERE IS ANY ROLL CAGE MEMBER BEHIND THE SEAT TO HAVE TWO ADDITIONAL MOUNTING POINTS
this improves safety as there is additional mounting points to secure the seat
side frame connects the seat (WHICH SHOULD HAVE MOUNTING HOLES) to the bottom frame
Below is equipment used for side frame to seat mount
Metric 10.9 bolts and spacers (top)
Nylock nut and fender washer (bottom)
Loctite / threadlocker
