Hi Guys
I don'tknow if anyone has this info to hand I can't get home to measure mine and need to get an order in today! Here goes:-
For a 350i 1987 I need the maximum width available for the seats across the bottom (the seat not mine!) And also the dimensions of the fixing centres to the floor.

Thanks in anticipation!!

Seem to remeber it was very narrow for the actual seat, and only one I found that fitted were something like Cobrouo Clubman. (about 50 cm from memory)

As for the hole fitting , you can always drill through the floor and reinforce with metal straps or large washers for the seat fixings

BTW in the end I went for some later Chimera seats and found these to be very comfy and cost lest than a set of new recaro's cobrau etc, also were in a leather that matched the rest of the cars interior

Thanks I've got the same seat in mine (I think) but they are not high back and I do like something for my head to bounce on if anything happens at speed!

I've bolted my Chimp seats without a runner straight to the floor - they are lower down than my old wedge type and feel more comfy too.
