anyone here with these seats in a fbody? pics please. Were they difficult to install and did you have to replace the mounting brackets? how was the fit in relation to the door/console?

I've got Torinos in my car. Get the bolt-on brackets from Sparco and they fit fine. Don't forget the sliders unless you want them fixed.

the bolt on brackets made my seats sit up too high. so i just fabed up some from some aluminum stock.

Is there any way to adapt them to the stock seat platform so that I can maintain the power functionality?

Chrisbequick

All the power controls are built into the stock seat.

P.S. Here are my Torinos:

Thanks. Has anyone been able to adapt a belt guide relatively close to where the stocker is? I imagine the belt would do some damage on the neck without a guide.

If i have some flat brackets made up, could I get the seat to sit no higher than the stock one. I won't fir with a helmet otherwise.

I think my seats sit perfect with the Sparco brackets. They're not high at all, but I guess everyone is different. You won't know until you get the seats bolted in.

As far as the belt guide goes, I don't use one. The stock belt rests across the left shoulder restraint when not in use. I'm 5'11" and it barely rubs my neck when in use. It's not overly annoying.

Hmm, I'll have to check that out. Seats are next on the list after the motor is done, but it's hard to get a lot of feedback since it seems to be such rare change on F-bodies. I guess the seats are just so d@mn good, nobody bothers.
