I am currently restoring a GT II my dad built more than 30 years ago. The original seats were garbage but I am having trouble finding new seats that will fit. I have new floor pans from JC Whitney in that have the slider brackets. Any suggestions for seats that good but not a ton of money?

You can try this location to get seat covers made. bradleygt.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=ads&action=display&thread=737

You need EXTREMELY narow and EXTREMELY (emphasis added) low seats to work in a GT or GTII. Most will not have the lay back needed to fit or drive well. Your best bet is to get them recovered.

Should you however choose another path then some suggested seats are:
1. Porsche 914 (but they don't recline)
2. Mazda Miata (you will have to recline them and then you will have no head support)
3. Fiero (same issue as Miatas)

There are other options. These may fit but you would need to measure:

And yes....cut those rails out. They are way to high to use.

I have no problem with head clearance. If I need to get a good look around, I just stick my head out of the top and look I always get a chuckle out of observers when I do that.

If you talk to this guy I think he has a complete interior you could get at a fair price and I think it has all the vinyl and I think he might still have a complete carpet set to match too and he has new seats too.
