I installed my new hand made Chris Runge aluminum seats yesterday. The drivers side was pretty easy and all holes for the rails/sliders lined up with just a little fiddling needed. The passengers side was a challenge and it is fixed though it could be put on tracks I have. I had to do some bending of the seat edge where the e-brake is, I made one 3" cut on the right seat base due to the chassis tube (see the picture I sliced it at the bottom to be able to hammer it in away from the tube I then drilled a small hole through the two sections to hold that together), I used a hammer to indent the left side of the seat base to clear the cable shift tube I have and I had to drill 4 new holes and fill in the old ones
. I think they look great either bare metal or with my old FG seats center sections. I drove it with and with out the center sections. Before getting the seats I spoke to Chris Runge and Carey via email. Chris let me know he used Carey's FG 550 seats as his buck to make his and Carey confirmed and let me know how much work I was looking at Thank you Chris and Carey.
