Default Slim Racing Seats?

I came across some racing seats on ebay that are made for cars with limited space. They are 19" wide and 37" tall. Id post a link but I believe thats against forum rules. Anyways under these dimensions can someone tell me if these would fit an early C4? Item Number :260760211780

Post up the item number. I think its OK to post the link as long as you are not trying to sell something anyway.

Did it look something like this?

The Corbeau A4 seat is the only one that I know of that will fit in a Corvette.

as long as they arent wider than the 21" they will fit, 21" is really to wide but barely fits. the no names will fit also ,may not last as long , but they will fit. the issue will be the brackets

I was PMing forum member Oldalaskaman about the A4 seats awhile back. Unfortunately, extenuating circumstances obliterated my Corvette fund. They have brackets that bolt directly to the seat and the car. The no-names might not do this. If it's a local place, they might fab something up for you.

*edit*

He's not the one selling them, but he hooked me up with the vender. I'm trying to find the vendor and will re-edit when I do.
