Posting two threads was not intentional.I only ask for asistance with solving a problem.

If you're installing modern seats, you might want to also think about adding seat/shoulder belts at the same time. There are several posts on the forum to give you ideas.

Whereas all the others are giving you the runaround, I can tell you what I did.
I used 90's era Honda Prelude seats. They are narow enough to fit 2 in the front easily.
They are 6 way adjustable but not power. Later model may be. The thing I like about them is they have adjustable kidney pads on the side.
Another nice thing is the original front mounts can be used. You will have to fab rears.
I can change back to the original seats in 15 minutes.

Try searching, "RACIN' SEATS". I typed a step by step article on the installation & where I got the stuff.

What run around? I gave him a link to seats that Bill has in his car and a suggestion that he contact him. Is that a run around?

Bill, I did the search and cannot find your post on where you found the parts and how you assembled them.

I haven't had COFFEE yet, but I'll try:
They're replacement Bar Stool Seats, mounted on 3/4" plywood panels. Under them are swivel mounts I found @ Bass Pro Shop & they fit the built-in seat nuts perfectly. Bottom panel has a piano hinge, at the front, mounting it to the seat riser, allowing the seats & panel to open up to the tool storage area. Gregg, (RIP) mounted an adjustable length bicycle kick stand under it, to hold it open.
They gave me QUITE a lot of extra leg room & I sit about 3 or 4" lower.
Also gave a lot more room to get your feet in past the "A" post, as it doesn't hang over the seat riser, like the wood spring platform did.
NO BODY mods & can be changed back to stock seating in about 10 minutes.
To get more room to get his feet in, with stock seats, one Guy cut off about 4 or 5" from the front of his seat platform & his springs. (Of course, that DIDN'T give him more LEG ROOM.)
