[DeTomaso] Fiero Seats??

[Gray Gregory]

I have Fiero seats in my car. I set mine up to use the pantera seat tracks in order to minimize the loss of head room but you definitely do still lose some. I think the only way to completely avoid the loss would be to lower the floor pans but you can cut it in about half by using the pantera tracks.

Good luck,

Gray

I tried one on my car and it seems way too big.
Do the tracks have be modified to lower it???

>>>Lori Albino has a set in her '71 Pantera.  Hers uses the Fiero seat 
tracks and the floors had new holes drilled to accomodate them.  
Although the seats themselves are very comfortable, they are too 
overstuffed, forcing the driver both up, and forward relative to the 
stock seats.  A good upholstery shop should be able to scoop some foam 
out of the seat pads to get you down and back.

A flat firewall kit would be a good idea if you were going to carry 
average sized passengers too.
