More replies and advice on fitting “rally” seats:
“In order to fit our Sprinzel seats we used to get the bodyshop to bang a dent to the corner of the interior bodywork just behind the seat back, two or three inches there gave a huge extra amount of space for those as tall as me. I’d draw it if I had the vaguest idea of how to do that in an e-mail. Cheers J”
Paul Slangen:
“Yes, I installed those seats. I made wooden wedges to have the seat lean more backwards and give more space. Besides, I changed the seat cushion. Took out the wooden frame and bought special foam which I covered with the original seat vinyl. By that I could sit into the car very good. Otherwise it is too cramped. The cushion can be changed for the passenger seat, then smaller people can drive the car. Seat runners are installed too”.
