FTO seats in 260z

I bought some FTO seats quite a while back complete with rails and everything to fit into my 260z. I only just finished fitting the first one the other day. It was quite a lot of work (not for me, my dad did just about all of it) but the results are great, they are soooo much better than the standard items. We had to do away with the orignial FTO rails altogether as they are just far too wide, build a new frame for the seats and also attach the seat back to the frame (the back is normally attached to the rails, not the seat bottom). As they are now they only _just_ fit, as they are very wide up top, and wide down the bottom. Have done away with the standard seatbelt guide on the B pillar and will just put the seatbelt through plastic guide on the FTO seat. With this setup, the seat only barely reclines without hitting the pillar. Now that the passenger seat is done its just a matter of copying to same setup for the drivers, so it should be much much easier. If I were to do it again I would possibly consider smaller seats that are more at home in the zed (maybe FD RX7 seats?) but I'm very happy with these seats nonetheless.

I have installed the same seats in my yellow 240Z.

I agree that if I was to do it again I would choose some seats that arent as wide at the top and bottom.

I actually had to get new seat belts as the old ones didnt have enough adjustment anymore after the seat install, not a big problem as the old ones werent the best condition, but something to consider.
