The issues with using newer OE seats is that they are extremely heavy, and they can be bulky with all the integrated airbag stuff. Mounting is a challenge, but usually easily overcome.

The nice thing about Procar is they use a standard type rail and mounting system, which is spread across many aftermarket manufacturers. For example, I have Recaro RS seats in my 'bird, and it has the same type mounting as the Procar.

I bought the Recaros in like 1982, when they weren't that expensive, but they are showing some wear in the seat pan suspension system, and some of the foam. I was thinking it would be less expensive to replace them than to have them rebuilt/recovered. I am going from a previous color to black, so one way or another, I will have to do something.

I will look for pics of the seats installed, and the brackets. Can provide rough measurements too, but it's the 'standard' mounting system for just about all the big aftermarket seats.
