mikeyb Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I suspect that the width at shoulder height will not clear the hood frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6 M Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 why? as Fernysimples, cos they too high,alott higher than the separate head rest type.They actually touch the roof in me GT, and that aint got nee headlining hanging doon.So ina Spitty, hood would no go up.Shoulder bits Ok MikeyM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the seat frame below they'd be way too high, but they seem to sit quite nicely into the floor pressing without the frame in place. If you just bolted them directly to the floor you'd lose the adjustability fore/aft but I think they'd be in the right position height-wise...

chunky63 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I like the look of the smart roadster seats.....they would look good if trimmed in Triumph basket weave vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
