Well, after a lot of umming and arghing, measuring etc I have bought new seats for the car. I was quoted around £750 to have the originals recovered.
I took a trip up to Demon Tweeks last weekend and I have to say they could not have been any more helpful, well, Elliot was.
It has taken some jiggery pokery but I have used the original sliders which fitted onto the new seats which are side mounted rather than base mounted.
Unfortunately being rather tall I felt a little high in the car so the original seat cushion was taken off, it was on Velcro so not difficult and I have bought some seat foam which is to be covered, this makes me at about the same height as the original seat.
The good thing is that the new seats are hip hugging and give very good side support, if you have a girlfriend or wife with wide hips, forget it, or get a slimmer woman.
