Because you'll have no forwards/backwards adjustment unless you have 25 runners welded to the top ... thus increasing the height ... thus reducing space for fat legs under the steering wheel and vision out of the windows.

Martin my honest advice would be to save up and buy a T25 bolt-in swivel, trust me, I've been there :wink:

Good point. Thanks Ian. Although in this case it wouldn't be a problem because I only want one for the passenger side, so it wouldn't matter about losing the slide function or a slight increase in height.

Jack always reckoned our's gave her a bad back 'cos her feet didn't touch the floor .... and she's the one wi't long legs :wink:

Guess it depends what seats you're planning to use ... as has been said.

Just got hold of a set of Porsche seats coz mine are about crackered but haven't had chance to have a good look at them yet so I'm not sure how thick they are in relation to the originals. I'll have a butchers tomorrow. :ok
