<VV> seats

[Joe Robbins]

I put 280ZX seats in my 65. had to drill a couple of extra holes in the
floor but some lined up and had to use 2 little pieces of angle iron to
adapt the front of the mount to the floor, very easy, a piece  maybe 2
inches long and you drilled 2 holes in each one.

That is a tough one, Art. The seat brackets/mounts are designed to fit the  
seat (often standard throughout a few car lines), to the floor contour
(unique  
for each car line). The most common seats that you could easily adapt, GM  
intermediate seats from the same era, are probably as worn out as yours. I
know  
a few people had luck adding later model seats with only bolt-on adapters. 
Hank  put late Camaro seats in his car. It needed some drilled holes in the

adapter plates, but no welding, as I recall. And it bolted into/onto the  
original holes/studs of the car. In other words reversable some day, if
needed.  You 
might check that out. Some cars have seat mountings that are designed for  
easy snap-in installation on an assembly line, and a real b*tch to adapt.
Look  
for horizontal holes, mostly in the same plane. Those will be the easiest
seats 
 to install or adapt. - Seth Emerson
