Just thought I\'d give you a look at my progress with getting aftermarket seats to fit.:

Basically I modified the stock rails to pick up the new mounting points on the seat. I made steel cross members to account for the different locations.... just the drivers seat to do now - but I have learnt alot getting the passenger side to fit.

Oooh, snug but clear - are they Torino\'s?
What sort of height are they sitting at?

EDIT: hmm, not sure they are - patches are wrong. Look a lot like them though :)

Believe it or not they are Raceland GTB\'s!!  Very cheap - was a bit worried when I ordered them but wanted to play around with cheap seats first to see if I could do it. The plan was then to sell them on. I have to report the quality is much better than expected (although if you use as a daily driver, I think they would wear quickly). They feel really solid - and I mean really solid. Fit is good - as they sit on existing rails height is only slightly higher than stock.
Not bad for £150!
