Anybody got Honda Prelude seats in their bug?
Basically wanted to know if they fit easy enough (width etc) I know I'll have to adapt them in , I'm mainly concerned with the dimensions of the
seats and clearances etc.
Seats look like this
Cheers
Brendan

Barls is correct.
They fit very nicely, and are excellent seats. I picked mine up for $150 the pair.
This is my old dash, before the V6 went in, but the photo shows the gap left between the seats for using the handbrake

Sorry for hijack SAS...
How hard is it to modify them to fit??
Edith may need some new seats, so I am looking at alternatives for her....including modifying some. I can ask some one at work to help (if I beg)
but I'm wondering about whether or not they need an engineers cert as well. Any one know?
It becomes so confusing after a while...

And who the helled parked the Mitsubishi "Prancer" under my
house??? |

yes they do need an engineers, and before anyone says just do it with out remember that the insurance company will wipe your policy in the event of
an accident if the can find the slightest error on your behalf
