Very nice. They come in colors too.

I am 6'2" and in my 65 the seat must be pushed all the way back. The original seat is quite straight up in the back and gets uncomfortable on longer drives. These look lightly reclined. Can anyone comment if there is loss of leg room?

I got it around Jan of 2015 from forum member Sky65. I can't tell you much about it. It's 14" Dia. and a 2 1/2" depth.

I was looking on Procar web site, on this rainy day, and noticed they have a new wider seat, Rally 80-1000-51-DLX . This might be great for bigger drivers...also for you members that already have these seats, does the seat back go forward enough to access rear compartment on a convertible? Especially with top up. Been trying to make up my mind on these seats.

They should be fine. I can only speak for 2 door cars with a back seat. They worked well enough for people to access the back seat in a 1970 Camaro, and my Procar Elites in the 1967 Chevelle too.

Yes. they do recline forward to allow access.

I bought a set of procar seats and the same adapter set you used. I am putting mine in my 64 vette. I read where you mounted the rear of the seat base on top of the vette brackets. I assume the rear is the part of the base with the strap going across? this is the only way I can see that mine will fit. is it correct that the bases should be level? I noticed shims in the bolt kit. instructions are very poor. are the shims to help you level the base up if needed? mine seem to be pretty level with out the shims. assuming level is correct. the only other thing I see is that I don't think the 3 hole adjustment on the slider will go in the lowest hole unless you cut the bracket off. I wondered how you did yours. it looks like the bracket might hit the bolt in the rear where it sits on top of the vette bracket. I have some physical issues so I try to set up everything correctly before I get in the car. thank you for any details or tips you can give me.

Yes, you have to cut the bracket off if you want to mount it to lowest position. There were no shims in my kit. Just bolts with heavy duty washers for mounting seat to the bracket. I had to reuse original front seat mounting bolts. I installed new bolts and nuts in the rear after drilling holes in the existing u-bracket for them. The bolt holding the bracket to the seat does get close to the new bolt in the u-bracket so I didn't use a washer under it. If you are using the original size o.d.steering wheel you might have some problems getting in and out of the seat. I'm only 5'-6" tall and have a smaller o.d.steering wheel and it fits me fine.

thanks for the useful info. I do have a 14'' steering wheel. I understand what you mean about the shims. I didn't realize they were saying put them in front of seat bolts. I thought they went in the floor pan to level things up. I can see where they would get in the way. I will try the seat with the 3 hole bracket as is and see if it's ok for me. if not, I will cut it off. I have read of doing this. looks like you get about an inch if you go to lowest hole. I bought the elite lumbar seat from custom shop with a few xtra's.
thanks again, phil
