Anyone have a budget friendly way to install APC seats in my 89 rs droptop? So far any adapters I have found run around $250 or so. The seats I got are beautiful and it is such a shame to see them just sit there. Thanks!

drill and mod the stock brackets


athough they may still sit too high..

then you'll have to hack at the bars on the floor pan, to make it work....

 

here is what I did to mine in this thred,, not an APC seat but it might work for you.

I bought APC g3 racing seats a few months ago, and installed them, I simply made some brackets of my own out of flat bar steel. it isn't really simple in my case, seeing as how i went to a shop about a 20 minute drive away and was going to pure measurements. but if you have a welder and the seats out, it would be a breeze. basically the stock bolts on the floor I think are say 13" apart, now I think its the front two on booth the passa nd driver side that are offeset to one side.... I think its offset to the side of the car by about 2" than the back ones. you'd have to do measurmets but basically I just had flat bar steel that was as wide as the APC tracks, which were say 15" wide, and had a hole at each end for the track to be bolted too, and then another piece of flat bar at the front welded with a hole drilled into it for the bolts on the floor to go through. the back ones you have to make taller, I made my drivers side ones about 1.5" taller and the pass about 2.5" as the passanger side has a differnet floor style/slop

cheers
