If a guy wanted those GT40 style seats and not have the hassle of making them you can get them from GT40 vendors in either leather or Alcantara.
I have a leather Superformance set in my GT40, they are just coverd foam no shell and sit against the floor/bulkhead held in place by the passenger in the harness. I never thought of putting a set in a Pantera, but probably a good idea for some of the very tall owners.

I did look at purchasing the seats. We made them to fit the car.
Here are some drawings of the parts required to make the main rollbar hoop.
I bolted this down to the inside of the rocker panel, three M10 bolts per side & a 6mm thick load plate within the rocker panel.
Also it’s bolted to the top shoulder seat belt mount.
So it’s firmly fixed in place & greatly stiffens the chassis.
This rollbar fits in snugly & follows the internal contours.
I run a high back seat & it’s not possible to hit my head in the event of a rollover.
The cross tube follows the bottom of the rear window.
Both items need the tube lengths trimmed to fit.
For the rollbar hoop the ends of the legs are sliced at an angle as the inside of the rocker panels are at an angle.
Sorry, I don't have dimensions of the overall rollbar height or the mounts.
We trimmed the barwork to fit the inside of the car by putting the rollbar into the car, centralising & measuring/marking, then removing & cutting.
Bit of trial & error on the fitting side of things.
regards,
Tony.

Well, got the car back from the chassis shop. Very happy with what was done.
Ended up going with a 6pt (ish) cage. With the drop floors in my car and the seats I chose, ended up having ample clearance with the roof and roof bar (I'm 6'0 for reference).
Piper Motorsports www.pipermotorsports.com did all the work. Extremely professional bunch of guys and awesome shop. We talked through the consultation with what I wanted, told them a bit about what other guys are doing with cages, and brought up the purple passion chassis stiffener. Just gave them the basic idea of what I wanted, and turned it over to the piper guys. Couldn't be happier with the results.
