I have a couple pics, but they're not loaded onto my Forum Gallery. Shoot me an email with your address and I can send them.

It's very difficult. What you don't see in the pic is how the roll bar harness bars interfere with battery access also. I have my battery on the passenger side. If I want to remove the battery, I have to pull the passenger seat out.

i had one in my car up until about a year ago. i pulled it in favor of my stock '81 seat. the fit is really tight. the shoulder bolster is only about 1-2" away from the glass and if you have a power seat (like i did), it actually makes it more inconvenient to get in and out of. surprisingly, the stock '81 seats are more comfortable and provide just as much support. the only catch is it's difficult to get shoulder straps to stay in place with them. if i could fix that, they'd be the best performance seat you could find.
BTW, the red seat i'm in in the picture below is the same seat you're talking about, although, i think it's a bit narrower than the one you listed.

Are yours mounted flat on the floor? Or do you have them on sliders?
