Reply to "Seats"

Mitch - He has a tube frame based Thunder Ranch so he doesn't have the high center tunnel or side rails to worry about.  His is more like a Beck with larger flat floor so he isn't restricted to an 18" base.  A photo would confirm. Here's new TR interior - roomier than VW pan based (but not as much as I thought)?

American cars?  Gordon has modified Chrysler Cordoba leather seats.  Recall someone else narrowed Honda seats (Oggwarty?).  A lot of VWs (and BMWs) came with Recarro seats but many have extra bolsters that better fit a race inspired car.  Early 912/911 or 356 seats would most likely fit but they are costly and for sure would require full rebuild as they used horse hair in seat cushions.

These are stock 11-14  Jetta seats $325 on ebay - headrest could be easily pulled.
