Reply to "Modern Seats?"

Pantera floors are fairly narrow. I once mounted a set of Ferrari 512 Boxer seats in a '73 and while they were pretty and comfortable in the end, it was FAR more work than any adaption I'd ever done- including engine swaps. The seat rails mount too close to the seat bottoms to easily get even an end wrench on the rail attach nuts, the fore/aft adjust levers were steel (broken) & needed repair, contouring and new knobs, the seat cushions are too wide unless you remove the stock seatbelt plates in the floors & fabricate thinner covers with countersunk flathead attach bolts & hand-contour bevels on the large diameter plastic rake adjust knobs, & then you must use aftermarket seat belts, the rail-sliders are polyethylene strips and bind up unless greased regularly- which then catch dust and dirt & bind up again....there are more interferences but I blocked most of this nightmare out of my mind. It probably would've been easier to replace the whole FLOOR & console with Ferrari sheet metal. Do yourself and any shop workers a favor and measure VERY carefully, & reject any seats that are not the same size or smaller than a stock Pantera seat.
