MK seats
Hi, David.
I have fitted a pair of these seats in my Indy.
I had alot of trouble with side clearance. They were fine until I fitted my interior panels and now they just touch the sides.
I fitted the drivers side seat on runners using a pair of 'U' shaped brackets that I made.
The passenger seat is fixed using a pair of OMP side mounting brackets from Demon Tweeks. Just be careful when you fit the seats as they can distort
when you tighten the mounting bolts that you are using. I am told the new seats are alot stiffer and do not suffer from this. Fitting the seats has
given me more hassle than any other part of the build.
Good luck
Cheers, Tim

Ours fitted fine...
but then we have the new seats. The only difficult part was fitting the runners on the drivers side and getting it to operate correctly we used the MK
runners, which use wire to link left/right toggles. I've heard the one's without the wire are the best one's for setting up.
The seats are about 25mm clear of both sides... maybe this again is due to seats being new.
