[DeTomaso] Advice from the Ironbutts

[David & Marilyn Bell]

There are a couple of articles on early and late C-4 Corvette seats (with
photos) here: http://www.spacecitypanteras.com/technical.html.

Since I wrote Curing the Bends 4 or 5 years ago, I've removed the Corvette
tracks completely as I couldn't get enough clearance while wearing a helmet
(with no helmet clearance was OK though).  Eventually I refurbished my old
Pantera seat tracks (new brass rollers and springs) and bolting the Corvette
seats to them instead.  Using the Pantera seat tracks gave me a couple of
inches of additional head room, and really a more comfortable driving
position as well.

The C-4 seats are really comfortable for longish drives and also fairly
supportive at the track.

I highly recommend them.

My first 2 hour drive in the cat had only one negative result.
That was a big pressure ridge, just above the tailbone, from the stock
seats (73L).
Now Google maps tells me it's 15 1/2 hours from here to Reno, so I'm
thinking those seats have got to go.

Fiero seats are the "standard" replacement aren't they?
