Looks like there is no recline adjustment, so try to see if you can sit in someone else's seats before you buy, Daz, if you are in any way choosy about your driving position. No race seat has a recline mechanism, but I don't remember seeing your car on a track day recently.
A while back I tried Lotus Elise seats, which are also a fixed angle, and couldn't get on with the sitting position. I tend to prefer a slightly more reclined driving position than many seats give. Peter absolutely loves his Elise seats - horses for courses, I guess.

Yeah, no recline ability, but really doesn't bother me. I can set the up to be really comfortable and supportive. However, I do drive much more upright than most folks, but at over 6ft I have not issues with they as regards space. I just think bolting the drivers direct to the floor will be preferable for my height.

I like those Challenger but the Intrim pic shows dimensions without headrest so the classic version ( I presume) which shows a back rest at 530mm which is smaller than ours I think and that’s without the read rest
Seats come out easy enough so a trip to the factory would be a cool day out and you can see if they suit or not.
One of the poor quality o/e items I found on my car when removing the seats was the added box section to raise the seat front, not the diagonally cut square section steel in itself but the fact it was never painted. Outrageous lazy approach.
I removed them as I like a flatter seat.
Anything you do like add some decent stainless weight spreading washers or whatever will be an upgrade
For the one or two who haven’t met Daz, he’s an absolutely standard sized bloke......about 5 ft 10 and around 12 stone, as far as I remember. Apologies if I am doing you an injustice, Daz, but you aren’t female, so my life shouldn’t be in danger.
Hence there shouldn’t be height issues or seat width issues, indeed the narrower seat might suit him well. My Tuscan seats aren’t exactly wide, but are a nice fit for my derrière, and I am 6 ft and 14 stone.
