Calibra Leather in a Nova

[andyb]

I've been offered some leather seats out of a Totalled N Reg Calibra V6, does anyone know if the front seats will go straight in, or will i have to swap the nova subframes or more major mods.

Will get the leather taken off the back seats and put onto mine.

Take the subframes from the nova seats and bolt (maybe a few welds or spacer brackets if holes dont line up) them to calibra seats.
Ive seen it done few times so it can be done quite easily.

When you have them in you should do what i have done with my leather and alcantara ones and wire up the heating element to the switches in the (factory option in scandinava!) position...

Hi lads

Nice switches!!!!!

Can you get the opel spec parts at a local vauxhall dealer? i.e. im looking for the panel that, on the nova, sits next to the light switch?, i've added front fogs and buggered up cutting out the other hole!!!

Cheers

you mean like this?



You mean the panel that has holes for both front and rear fog lamp switches?

I searched for ages to find one, and came up with nothing.

Just cut it either on a spare one or the original.

Its easy will take you 10 mins tops.

[rossnunn]

Im not the most practical of blokes, where can i get an opel one, surely vauxhall do opel stuff right?

Thanks PhilAstraSport sorry 4 being stupid could i just ring my local vauxhall dealer and quote the AR number listed above? And this is right for a TWIN switch apperture (rather than the standard one)?

nope that number is for the 1 u already have

Step one: mark size of switch on the plate.
Step two: drill hole
Step three: File until switch fits comfotably.

Fit panel
Fit switch

Simple.

10 mins work.

[rossnunn]

but i've read somewhere that the front heated switches go there on european models. But having said that in another post the heated switches are between the electric window switches. But on the other hand, why is there another marking for one on the back? and why is there two plug points?

Im confused!!!

Ross

[Freak]

No.

On Mk1 dashs the heated seats switches are there.

On Mk2 dashs the seat switches are between the leccy window ones and there is a space for front fog switch next to the rear fog lamp switch (which is the bit u are referring too.)

I have got parts dude to look at opel listings and he couldnt find it. Its so easy to mod it so no stress.

[rossnunn]

mmmmm ok ill try it again......
what about those heated heat switches? where are they from?

[Freak]

lmao

They are from a calibra/cavvy mk3.

£3.50 odd from vauxhall.

[rossnunn]
