Opps - I forgot all about the pm you sent. Sorry Chief :ashamed:

Do you still want a reply?

Oh, and you'll need to make some subframes, or 'bodge' the 5 ones on. The Valver ones are way too wide for the 5's footwell.

i've sat in some and felt like i was on the tilt sliding off them the whole time.. worth thinking about when your doing it, perhaps they need adjusting, perhaps not tho:)

Like Bill said, you'll need to make up some subframes or cut and paste the two sets.
I got some valver seats for mine before and there's no plug and play involved :(

I swapped with Big Steve for some buckets... Winner :)

I will make sure I have a good gtt seat sat beside to make sure I get it right and some good strong welds on there:D

Yeah I have a few spare GTT frames now as I keep going through seats due to the crap material being so thin on the sides so was going to cut and bodge / weld the 16v seat to a gtt frame
