Default Aftermarket Seats

Has anyone put Recaro, or Corbeau seats in a '68?
If so, which models fit?

See the link to Corbeau seats on this page:

Someone put these in a C3 and they look really nice. Should bolt up really easily and aren't terribly expensive. Also the link above shows some C4 and C5 seats as well.

I'm using the Recaro Style's in mine - looks to be a 1-1 match. 68 rails should be real close to the 74 if not exact. Speedware has a good online catalog: http://speedwaremotorsports.com/seat/

I took a look at the Corbeau seats and they were nice. Unfortunately the A4's are the only one the salesman would recommend putting in the car due to size constraints. As I recall, they recommended up to a 34 waist and after sitting in one, I would have to agree.

I'm putting Sparco's Milano seats in my 1979. Here's a pic of the seat:



One of the guys here (bowtie racing) had this 69 with MOMO seats in it.
