Default Got my seats put in.

Ive had some seats sitting in my basement out of my old porsche for about 2 years now. They are in better condition then my original seats so I figured what the hell.

Not too much was needed to make them fit. I used the original brackets on the passenger side and had to make 2 brackets to make the drivers side work.









Wasnt too bad. Only issue is the drives side is sitting too close to the door. I will fix that with 2 morte brackets.

Not too sure. Would have to check my records. I think they are summit racing seats. Very comfortable and great for a budget I think they were $180 a seat. SOOOO much more comfortable then the stock seats and a bit of weight was removed by getting rid of all the electrical components under the seats.

Thanks guys. I was very happy with the install. Ive seen some of the things that some people have had to do to get seats in so I have been putting it off for a while now. But my friend convinced me to do it yesterday and I was happy that I really didnt have to make many changes. The factory brackets bolted straight up to the passenger side. The rear bolt oles were off just a pinch so we had to compensate for that but everything else went in great.
