Hi,
I have not been on this site or posted in a long time. My Bradley needs some work to make it truly roadworthy again. I hope to have it back on the road in the next 60 days or so. The 19" maximum width makes it difficult to find aftermarket seats that will fit. I have some nice ones, but they are no longer manufactured. Unfortunately, they are wearing out and rather than have a traditional upholstery covering, they simply have fabric glued to the foam. They have a unique shape that makes generic seat covers not an option and since it does not have removable upholstery to use as a pattern, it will be more than a $1000 to create covers for them. I am ending up putting fiberglass buggy seats in it (with extra foam padding), so I can replace the upholstery when it wears out for less than $100 per seat.
Sincerely,
Steven

Unless you are very very short your best option is the Bradley seat. The sitting position in the Bradley is very reclined. The stock Bradley seats have the headrests tilted forward which makes driving the car much easier.
They can be recovered to look quite nice.
If you are tall I would also suggest either a body lift and/or a floor pan drop.
But generally speaking there are really very few factory seats that will work.

I purchased a real nice set of 2001 black Celica GT seats on craigs list for 80 bucks. I installed one in the drivers side of my GT1 and the fit Ok but it raised my but off the pan an additional two inches that put my head over the top of the gull wing doors. No good!! So I sold them on Craigs list for 150 and put the bradley seat back in.

I sat on the floor! Bolted a seatback in from a boat and put a cushion on the floor. It is not as weird or as uncomfortable as it sounds.
