120Y is identical to 1200 in the seating arena, same rails and everything

Any of the bucket seats already shown here above will work in 120Y the same as in 1200. If you want to buy new there are several good choices, starting with Recaros. For comfort you can't go wrong with a reclining seat

Takami leather seat should be durable except for reports of fading

Recaro probably will be most durable as they have long experience supplying new cars. Most won't last as long as factory buckets because of the thin, lightweight materials used

If you don't care for the factory bucket seats, what about bench seats?

Imagine carrying three people in a 1200 ute ...

That's grunterhunter's yellow supercharged ute, he thought they were Subaru Impreza RX seats. They look like Impreza RS 2.5 seats to me, even WRX seats but with a smaller base

The old Stewart tartan, eh?

Daihatsu seats may fit, but so do plenty of seats out of larger cars -- look at how nice those S14 seats fit a 1200. My favorite seat in my 1200 was Ford Thunderbird Turbo seat, though they were about as big as you'd want to put in, they restricted rear seat (2-dr) access somewhat

As I recall those later Prelude seats bolt flat to the floor

If so you might be able to do like these, which keeps them mounted low

Bolt angle stock to the original bolt holes
Then bolt seat to the angle
