It\'s not too bad to put together - just need to tidy up the mounts.

archbish, did you just adapt the mounts or did you make brackets to fit the seats?

The seat runners are those from an FB.  the brackets were from the bolt holes on the underside of the seat to the bolt holes on the runners.

I will be revisiting them, as the seats do sit quite high, but they certainly go in, and they do look great!
