Hi,
I've read in a few posting that front seat can be replaced on spiders with Fiero and Honda CRX seats. I like to know if any customization needs to be done to the replacements seats in order to fit them in.
thanks
Rick

If you have no log-in, here it is in a nutshell:
The tab in the third image was bent to fit, and one tab on the inside rear had to be cut off for clearance and that was all that was done to the tracks.
The PO had these seats installed, I do plan on welding a new tab on to the rear so it has a four point bolt down pattern.
