So I'm installing Corvette seats.....easy????

....right up to where I put the passenger seat in the car...and it is hitting the danged parking brake handle cover!!!

Using some of Gary Herrig's last seats he put together. Called him up, as I've known him back to his Goose days, to get some tech support. Basically what has to be modified! He mentioned one of the holes in the Vette seat needed some file work, front inner I believe...and I found that the rear inner also needed some relief with a file! (Working on passenger side here!)

I get all the seat rail mounting holes to line up perfectly, all 14 1/4" apart front and rear....go to drop it in and get one front bolt in.....hmmm can't align the other front hole....

Looking around I find that the rear holes are off about 1/4-3/8"..... eventually traced this to interference with the seat and the parking brake housing cover!!!

LAST thing I want to do is start carving on the Pantera parts......specially since I spent so much time welding up/filing down previous carvings.....nor do I want to cut up the plastic housing!

I would love to hear other solutions that you've done to get these seats to fit properly!

I think the driver seat will fit with no issue....just this pesky passenger side!

74 car. ?? Vette seats.... 85-87ish? Taking out Recarro that work for poo.

Ciao!
Steve
