Re: corvette seats

I'm not 100% sure but I do not believe they bolt in. It would not be hard to bolt in 3rd gen seat tracks on to it though... worst case scenario, you have to drill and tap a new hole...

Re: corvette seats

You'll have to drill holes in the seat shells and fabricate some form of spacers to mount the 3rd gen brackets to them. Been down this road, swapped them out for leather 4th gens and haven't regretted it at all.

Re: corvette seats

They were somewhat cramped for my taste (6'6" @ 285lbs). Plus the leather 4th gens look at home in the car compared to the vette seats.

Re: corvette seats

my friend has an 87 vette, and they are the most comfortable, and supportive seats Ive ever sat in..I do see how some people would feel cramped in them but there perfect size for me some day I wanna swap in a set in my iroc, but they are very hard to come by
