<VV> Seat Recommendations.

Of Course, Kent Sullivans notes on doing that installation included the  
extensive bracing that he did add to insure the safety of that  installation. 
He didn't just bolt them down. I can't say if other have done  that. I can 
say that I have tech inspected cars for would-be autocross  competitors who 
thought that a block of wood as a spacer, a bungie cord as a  retainer or 
other inane solutions as sufficient. Uh - no.

Smitty  Says;  Way back when the article first came out in the Communique 
about  putting Sebring seats in a Corvair I kind of cringed and then told 
myself  nobody cares what you think.  No doubt in my mind keeping your face out 
 of the dashboard is a good idea, But I don’t think it would feel any 
better to  be strapped to a seat that is coming with you to the dashboard.  I  
haven’t even looked under the floor to see but I’ll bet the floor pan and 
seat  rails for those seats is far away stronger than the mountings for a 
Corvair  seat.  I would suggest that if you are going to make that conversion 
that  you do considerable shade tree engineering to reenforce the floor 
mountings,  and don’t even think of using the Corvair  rails.
