Seat Tracks | The De Tomaso Forums

horacecopeMember

Looking for a pair of seat tracks please.

I tried to fit the used seats on my Pantera that I bought from a DT owner here in the UK. However the seat track mounting holes are 353mm apart whereas the captive bolt holes on my floor are 430mm. I didn't know there were different sizes fitted to Panteras.

Need a set of tracks with 430mm hole centres as I don't want to start drilling and welding my newly sprayed floor. Happy to swap these shorter tracks if anyone needs them

Cheers
Horace

When purchased, 2511 had Recaro seats installed by a previous owner. The Recarro mounting points did not match the Pantera mounting points.

The solution used in this case was the addition of suitable flat stock steel welded to the Recaro seat tracks that reached to the stock mounting points.

Bolt holes were drilled in the flat stock and seat was successfully mounted into the stock threaded bosses.

I've noticed no problems with this solution.
