heyaa clo a google on "micra.org almera seats" brings a couple of threads up (and a link to a few more threads)

 

[Clodo]

Thanks frank had a read through no info to really go by though unfortunately.... perhaps @scurvy dave is still on the forum? Xx

 

[Magpie42]

Do you fit the whole thing in or put the Almera seats on the Micra runners?

 

[Clodo]

I need the almera runners to fit so I can tip the seats forward xx

 

[Magpie42]

What I mean is...the four feet of the Micra seat....are you attaching that part to the slidey part of the Almera seat? I've not seen the underside of an Almera seat, so not sure how similar/different they are....

 

[Clodo]

No there completely different unfortunately looks like I may have to drill holes into the body... not sure im comfortable doing that though xx

Can you take the outer runner off he micra frame and fit it to the almera frame?

We could mate but then you would lose the ability of sliding the seats forward and the tilt function... defeating the object.

 

[Enuo]

The seat frame consists of the subframe and the two runners. Can the offending runner alone be removed from the almera subframe and the micra rail fitted to make a hybrid rail

??? It would stop the seat sliding mate because it's on a spring cable with almera and solid welds on the micra.

[hilton484]

Could you drill and tap a block of ally or something and bolt through that to original hole and then bolt the almera hole into the block? Looks like theres a gap between the floor and the pad?

 

[Clodo]

I have to admit I have drilled a hole in the floor pan.... Its dangerously thin.... The metal is about as thick as a debit card... Can barely even tap it... I don't doubt you can get a bolt in there, but personally I don't want to risk it... It's not just me in the car, I'm not risking it.... To many loved ones come in my car but I've had a plan and will post pictures if it works... May be a week or two though x

 

[Enuo]

You can weld a nut to a 50mmx50mm piece of 5mm steel and weld it to the bottom of the car where the hole is.

 

[Clodo]

Double skinned isn't it? Xx

 

[Enuo]

Weld can penetrate multiple layers

 

[Clodo]

I thought there was a gap between both of those layers? X

 

[h701micra]

Basically buy an seat bolt anchor and weld to the outside, the bolt etc will clamp everything together

[Clodo]

I may be being incredibly silly but I looked into that and it seemed you have to cut the outer floor pan out to weld the nut on to re weld the floor pan? X

Without looking myself I cant say :/

 

[Clodo]

Fair enough xx

 

[stevenbmkiv]

Did the Almera seats ever get fitted correctly?
If three of the 4 bolts fitted no problem I would have bolted a bracket or two to the original floor pan hole and married them up to the remaining seat rail hole. Or get a bracket into the original hole and clamp it around the seat rail. If three of the four holes are in securely that should then be strong enough.
Is it the same both sides of the front seats?

 

[Clodo]

Yeah they did welded extended plates on the bracket and put the bolt through that only 2 lined up xx
