    My stock seats are on a work bench right now. I'll measure 'em tonight if that helps.

    That would be great. If you could give me the bottom mount points for width and length dimensions. The sparco seat bottom mount points are 27.1 X 34.5 cm. just for reference.

    John,

    Could I request complete seat dimensions (as opposed to just the base) as my seats are at a re upholsterer getting a quote to restore them... and I'm considering alternate seats as well if the estimate comes in too expensive.

    Thanks
    DF

    Guys, I have to apologise. I did not get a chance to measure the seats last night. My dad had a mild stroke on Wed. He's doing okay now but I was at the hospital late last night again.
    I will get to them this weekend if thats ok with everyone.....Thanks:)

    My dad is doing great and will be home this weekend. I had some time to kill while they were doing some evaluations on him so I ran home and took some measurements.

    Richard, the holes in the stock seat are as follows:
    Width 13-5/8" centre to centre
    Length 10-3/4" center to centre

    Dan, the rough dimensions for the seats as my upholstery guy does it are as follows:
    BASE
    Width 19-1/2"
    Length 22"

    BACK REST
    Width 19"
    Length 21"

    HEAD REST
    Width 12-1/2"
    Length(height) 6-1/2"

    I hope this helps.:)

    Oh yeah, If anyone wants to know more in detail about retrofitting 348 seats PM me with your number. I just went through a huge hassle with my Speciale seats and modifying brackets. It's a real PITA if you have a 90 or newer car with the mouse belts. It's way to much for me to type and I'm not good at typing.
