I finally got a set of replacement sporty seats, amazingly they mounted fairly easily, a few issues though...

1. b310's have weird uneven mountings and the outside is about 3/4" lower. this isn't really a problem.

2. seats are very near to the b pillar, it looks like i could make the seats mount about 1" closer to the inside of the car which would help here.

3. my legs just fit under the steering wheel, I'd like to get more clearance there.

4. my head is probably too close to the roof now, i'll probably need to do something about that.

what can I do to make these fit better?

should I make my own mounting rails and not use the datsun's or is this just how things work out?

Not quite sure what to recommend with your set-up......but with mine, I used aftermarket seat brackets, and have the seat almost on the floor. The seat has "wings" around the head area, and these rest against the B-pillar. Also, we removed the original mounts and took a hammer to the floor to give us a more level playing field to start with.

Hope that helps.

Open in new window

is it bad to pound those ridges that the factory seat brackets go to? If i did pound those flat, can I pound the other lumps in the floor flat too?

Open in new window

just clears the window!
