Re: seat question

you can make any seat fit, u will prolly have to make brackets for them to work tho. i have Camaro seats in my 79, just had to make the brakets because the holes didnt line up

Re: seat question

Awsome thanks. Are the brackets pretty simple to make? I dont have any fabricating equipment at home but i could make some at school.

Re: seat question

well i had my local welder do mine, cost me 40 bucks, he welder together a bracket that bolts to my floor and then to my seat. then he made a pipe with threads in it because my 79s floor is uneven, and welded it so that the other side of the seat sits even with the other side.

Re: seat question

do some measurements just to be sure .. like everyone says anythings possible with money and time... i think it might be a tight squeeze being the seat are bigger in diameter all the way around..
