Man - you guys are spending way to much money here ... '94 Celica seats from the bone yard ($60). Adjustable lumbar, height, etc. - almost a bolt in swap.

How much "almost" was there to the bolt in?

 

[bustanutley]

Thanks Need to switch it up a bit so the seat cradle comes out though

Here's a link to a few pics I took tonight. The PO welded in the seats he used So I can to cut up the stock brackets a little. I used 5/16 flat iron to put in some new cross baces and then bolted the seats to those. The seat came w/ the sliders already on. It's kind of crude, but I did'n have a welder then, only a drill press and chop saw.

nice. now I see what you did, pretty easy garage fab to make them work.

if you could, could you post a few showing the full seats installed so I can get a feel for what they look like in the rig. thanks

I put some pic in there this weekend. They won't be great becuse the hard top is on. I looked to see if I had any pics with the top off, but none showed the seats well. Now that I feel good about the fix, I've put it on my list to take them out and clean up and weld the frame, as it's a 40, the list is long

zack, are taking the box out from under the driver seat?

 

[bustanutley]

No, I can still get into it, I keep all my tools in it still and a few of the smaller spare parts, the only problem is that the bottle jack is trapped in there, so if I really need it i'll have to pull the seat.

My question too.

From the ROTW thread:

Mind including a detail shot of the seat mounts??? Some of us are working at fixing aching behinds with new seats!!! (Sweet rig BTW!)

Cheers!

Seats use the factory brackets - they are out of a '94 Celica and the mounts were 1" narrower than the stock on each side. I just bolted 2" flat stock to the factory mounts and mounted these directly to that ... easy breazy.

After-Market Seats in my '78

Mine has Recaro orthopaedic seats in the front - bought the LC used, so did not plop out that cash myself for them. However, I want to put in a 4-point harness - any recommendations?

This thread needs updated images!

Anyone have current images and suggestions most of these post are so old the images are missing now. I will want to change mine out at some point. I am interested in seats that are not so hot to sit in and of course comfort for longer rides. Air blowing seats would be great for these hot Texas days approaching. PGG


Maybe I need to make a beer and seat cooling jockey box for the back!

Out of a Honda City. Not water proof though but ride very good. Had Recaro Racing seats but they had been buried in mud so many times they rotted.
