The seats showed up from Stefan at GTS classic seats yesterday. A big ups to him for the custom mounts that he hand laid into the fiberglass shells. I sent him some mechanical drawings of the bolt patterns from the stock seats to work from. The original rails bolted right up and they slid into place first try. A very nice touch since the mounts are part of the monocoque floor pan. If I had cut them out and used new generic mounts the seats would never have sat so low, plus its just a lot more "factory" looking this way too. The only modification I had to make was to drill out the holes in the rails to accept M8 hardware instead of M6. I put them in the car along with the steering wheel and column to mock things up and make sure nothing got too tight. I'm happy to say it fit like a glove, or rather a highly supportive race seat. Something a car capable of such high corner speeds deserves.....
Fuckin' rad!
