  1. What seats have you put into your cab.
    What seats fit the original tracks & require no modifications & are more comfortable for someone over 6foot tall!!

    All pics would be appreciative

    You won't find other make seats that fit the same runners.
    Porsche / Saab etc bolt over the top.
    I've got Porsche Tombstones in mine.
    Beware Saab seats: they sit far too high if you're remotely tall.
     
  3. Mine had Rover 600ti seats fitted, bolted to floor. They are so comfy I decided to keep them, I just recovered them.

    Btw be careful most seats from other cars -unless the runners are removed the drivers seat height is lifted substancially.

    Volvo seats. Too high. Just about to replace them with a Jaguar XJS rear bench seat, which will sit substantially lower.

    MGF Seats in mine, not properly driven yet, but seem low enough to not give the feeling of having to stand on the pedals, and I'm a short arse at 5'5"

    Not the best pic, but shows they can be mounted flat - original runners have been removed.
