So my `97 came with a pair of these seats -
http://www.hunsakersports.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=194
and they're quite nice, but not what I want in the 97, and I scored a complete set of mint grey cloth GT seats that I threw in the car last weekend.
The hunsaker seats were mounted in the `97 with the stock seat rails, power on the drivers, manual on the passengers. The drivers was a pretty good fit, however it did sit up a full inch higher than the stock GT seats do in there now.
So I threw my `89's seat rails on those seats with some minor mods (drilled new mounting holes in the rails to bolt to the seat bottoms), and threw the seats into my `89. They do sit lower, but still 1/2" too high.
The problem is the seats don't slide all the way back, I only get about 3-4 clicks of movement out of the rails. This happened also to the passenger side in the 97 that had a stock manual seat rail on it when I got the car.
So the powered rails go back far enough, but sit up too high, and the manual rails sit lower but don't go back all the way...
Are there any decent seat rails sold off the shelf for something like this? I don't even need adjustment really, I could just bolt them to the seat bottoms as far back as possible and I'd be happy. I've heard of others buying aftermarket rails and they ended up raising the seats up almost 2", that won't work for me as I'm 6'5"
Am I stuck trying to have a local shop fabricate new seat brackets for me? ($$$$)?
