As I mentioned in that thread, I'm really happy with the BMW 300 series Recaros. I'm still flogging myself for not pulling the second set they had in that particular yard, eventhough they were in bad shape. When I went back, everything in the yard had gone to the crusher in response to the current high value of scrap. Saab seats are good, they give good just-behind-the-knees support, unlike some of the ones coming out of Japanese cars. Honda and Toyota seats are generally quite good. Keep your eyes open for a wrecked 2-door Lancia, very rare, but the seats are spectacular, I've read. It's not easy to find good seats that are not too broad for PVs. I've seen 142 seats used, and they seem to work well, requiring a minimum of track modification. With all of them it's a juggling act in a PV to get the right height while still being able to get at the e-brake and seat belt anchor and not ending up even further to the left of the steering wheel. With the Recaros, a fair amount of flat bar and welding was required to get it right. Remember, they have come from a 2-door. Check this Board's archives. There should be more info on the subject there.
