Thanks man. I'll be getting that as soon as I get a new seat pan.

Anyone have one out there?

@ Ste_Nova : Nice solid mod but it also lowers the seat pan with respect to the seat back which throws off the lumbar support and can give you a pain in the back after a while.
Did you somehow lower the seat back to match?

Corner ! Woot !!!!

Cant you just buy one of those seat rails and accomplish the same thing? or is this something way different.

Quite nice of you to take all of those pics and even pull out the other seat for comparison.

Interesing seats you have there. Are those vinyl in the center or some type of cloth? Were full leather seats a costly option?
