Default Corbeau Seat Install in 1996 GS

I am helping a buddy install a set of FX1 Pro seats in a 1996 GrandSport.

The Corbeau seat rails and base he has flat do not work at all. He is a tall guy and they do not even come close.

Is there another rail system to get these seats all the way back? A non-adjustable set will be fine...

Thanks

Hey Jeff,
I used Gary's rails (Hardbar) on my C4. They work great .... lots of room for adjustment. I'm 6'1", the seat is at least an inch off the floor & my head is nowhere near the roof. Gary's stuff ain't cheap but IT WILL get the job done CORRECTLY & SAFELY.
If it matters, I'm using an Ultrasheild seat.

Gary, you were the first guy I called - last night - check your messages...

Do your rails work with FX1 pros?

Anthony - Is the Ultrashield an Aluminum shell seat?

Yes the Ultrashield is aluminum. All you need is the rails & a drill.
