Default Aftermarket Seats

Could anyone share any pictures of non-Corvette aftermarket seats in a C3? (Sparco,Recaro,Corbeau,Kirkey,etc..). What should I expect in doing a swap? Can I use the original rails? With such limited space, I'm not sure what would fit. Thanks!

I have the Corbeau's and they offer a lot of support and comfort. If I did it again, I would buy the seats, but not the brackets. I would make my own brackets.
