Default C5 Seats in a C3











There are no tracks. They are mounted on little metal feet about an 1 1/2 of the carpet using the factory holes the originale seats used. Not sitting any higher than the C3.

Look great!

What do you mean by "they're mounted on little metal feet?" Did you fabricate the "feet?"

Those are nice! I wonder if tracks can be used? My wife drives my Vette sometimes. She's 5'1 and I'm 6'2. With a fixed seat, she'd never reach the pedals or I'd have my knees in my face.

There are few of us that have used the stock c3 tracks on them and they move back and forth fine plus recline too.

You did a nice job lucky marry.

Looking good Mary. I also like the roll bar, that looks good padded like that.

On a side note, for whatever reason I could not view the pics using Firefox but with IE the pics pop right up. Curious.

Good imagination on thinking that one out. Your right in comparing the two, its obvious you can swap them with very minor mods. Looks Great and good job!
