Hi,
I finally got my Bradley GT on the road what a blast to drive.
I am having problem with the seat after a driving for about 30 min. my back was really hurting. I checked out the thread about seats didn't really give me the info I am looking for.
I 've heard That a Mazda Mata seat will fit in a Bradley gt.
is it true ? Do I have to lower the pan, or can I just bolt them in? I hope to take it to the Detroit Dream Cruise this weekend and Cruise Woodward . www.woodwarddreamcruise.com
Check it out about over a million people turn out for this weekend.

Hi, panther,

Takes awhile to get used to the position of the GT seats.

I add an extra 2 inches of foam rubber under the seat back panel, and two to three additional layers under the seat panel. Where it's needed most is at the front of the seat bottom, right where it contacts the middle of your upper legs.

Warmest...

I have run into this same problem. I'm running a standard floor board and was limited on a set of seats. I found a set of fiero seats and they are 20" wide and recline. The only thing is you can't run the seat track they have to be mounted to the floor to make up for the 2" rise from them. I also have a set of seats from a 98 camaro that are 20" wide as well that i'm going to use instead of the fiero due to i don't have to recover them. If you are interested in the fiero seats in the pic let me know thay are for sale. They are also the seats with the speakers in the head rest.

I went with Miata seats in my Dune Buggy. There is less room in the buggy than in the GT as the seats are all the way back where the tunnel widens out. They may be too high for the GT unless you have the dropped pans. Try Craigslist in your area for the seats.
