Later model seats

Brutus:
I'm looking for any info on the fitting of later model seats for my 77 as well as the best place to get them from. Chris and or Rebel....any info please?

rebel:
Brutus,

If by later model you mean 80's I may be able to help. As you know mine's a 74 with 82 seats but you may not know (and that's a big call you know most else), the 82 seats are taller then pre 80's. In order to fit them to mine, the floor pan had to be dropped an inch and a half.

As for availability, unless you can pick them up locally, I'd suggest the best value place to get them from would be J&D Corvettes. They'd have them second hand in pretty good condition and I'd say you're planning to re upholster anyway so color won't matter.

Good luck!

Brutus:
Thanks for that info A. I'll try and keep to the slightly earlier ones then. Although I do plan on altering my foot well while the engine is out, I wasn't looking to do that much work on the floor. I do believe that the seats can be sourced from somewhere in Vic so I'll have to wait for Chris to get back and ask him.
