The space left over for seats after the installation of the driveshaft tunnel is pretty narrow. GLIDE seats are too wide. A bench would be too high over the height of the tunnel. I have tried an early VW seat but it is too wide. I like the mounting rails and height. I am considering trying to narrow some VW seat frames to fit. Any suggestions of other seats. I can't exceed 16" at the front of the frame.
What we used to do was cut the bench to clear the tunnel. Makes for a rough ride if you sit in the middle. LOL
If you want the "period" look, the MG, Triumph, Austin Healy buckets from the early 60's were pretty popular, I know they won't be the smartest decision financially though.
pork nbeaner and i must be about the same age cause thats the way we did it. take just what you need to out of the middle at the bottom.
One builder on the HAMB had a nice looking pair of front seats. I asked what the seats were and he said they came out of a Toyota Echo tudor. I have seen them used in other cars since. This link shows the seats that I asked about. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum...me-paint-squirted.943029/page-4#post-11345777
I used 68 Vette frames 16"finished. But also use a pillow on long trips. Lol Ron... Sent from my SM-G920P using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

I built these seats for a model a interior I did ( not my car ) They are mid 50s MG seat tracks ( and seat bottom shape) with hinges at the front and I built the backrest ( also hinges forward) to fit the car. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
