You need steel balls to do that job especially since the car have to pass a full inspection before i was able to plate it because he comes from the States. But i like the result and my friend who is 6'4", is able to drive the car whit the top up. I choose those seats because i read a forum who said to we can put honda civic seats from around 1990. I can tell you it's bullshit. The bolt pattern is different and you seat to high.

I like the seats. Interesting when you look at the passanger seat from the rear, the bump in the floor from the Cat converter sticks out a little more since the seats appear a little higher.
Buon giro a tutti! - enjoy the ride!

ORFORD2004,

How wide are those seats across the bottom cushion & how well do they fit between the console & the door?

I can't access the link you posted to those, it's expired, but I have found "Bombz" brand on ebay listed to "fit fiat" that spec out 22" wide. Curious if yours are the same.
Also found "Vision Technology" seats (search ford courier seat), same width but have better looks & are cheaper.

1 more question, how high do yours sit compared to stock?

Mine only have the cushions left on the bottom w/ cheap cloth seat covers holding them together, so I need to do something soon.

They are 22" wide and since i cut the railling in the floor, you sit as low as the original. I'm happy whit the result, but it was a big job.
