I modified the factory brackets to work on them...since I have them in my Holden, and they don't make brackets for them. (I did ship a pair to a buddy in Oz and he used the Scat brackets and they worked great, and I had used a pair in a Camaro for a buddy some years back and used thier brackets again for that one) Here are mine... (Steve had saw when I found them at the swap meet actually )

DO NOT buy the Procar Sportsman racing seats. Probably the least comfortable seat i've ever sat in.
I can't speak for the other styles of seats, but don't get the sportsmans.

Thanks Steve and OzHemi. I think I'll go with the Procar seats, then. Did you buy the sliders from Procar, also? Maybe I'll look for a set of factory bucket seat brackets before I order the brackets from Procar. Procar's brackets are $70 each
I just used my factory 68 Bucket Seat tracks. But it does make the seat pretty high. Used factory bucket seat brackets usually are more than $70 each.
Mike, I'm just over in Simi if you want to try/check them out. Of course the car will be at Spring Fling.

They are located in Redondo Beach ? from memory....or near abouts there.
Literally behind the South Bay Galleria. But you have to take this real circuitous but short route to get around to them.

Don't remember that other pair.
I bought the ones pictured above BRAND NEW never used at the long beach swap meet around 10 years ago. For like $150-$200. About year later I bought one brand new scat seat in black too for like $75. But just one

By the way, don't know where you are in California..but if you are anywhere around here (SoCal) might be worth just dropping by Scat/Procar and sitting in them there too. They always have been good to talk to in my talking with them at least, and they are just in the south bay area.
Mike that's a very good suggestion. I know at SEMA Scat had a display of all their seats you could sit in. I can't remember if they have those out in their reception room. But call Scat direct and ask if they have some you can sit in.
