    they look really nice. I like them. They are pretty big but they look comfortable. Where did you get them from?

    Are those seats the Summit Brand or Procar sold by Summit? What size "diameter" is that steering wheel?

    13" and funny you ask cause the steering wheel could actually go in mashori's roll cage post about the 6 pt. with the bar going along the door to the front. I used to have an 8 pt. and with me being a "beefy" feller, it was a real struggle getting over the door bar and under the stock steering wheel. The smaller wheel made life much easier.

    yeap! I have a smaller steering wheel too and it could be smaller still. I'm hitting everything with my clogs getting in and out of the car so gonna have to wear something different or get a smaller steering wheel.

    Those seats didn't come with mounting brackets did they?

    they came with the sliders with mounting provisions on them. The reason I mentioned HOMERMAV earlier was I think he installed these seats to a stock floor and he could add some insight as to what it takes.

    i bought some seats on ebay for like $300 for 2 what i did was look for the seats that say 50 bucks for bolth but 250 for shiping so when the total was added up they only taxed me for 50 bucks because they dont tax the shiping :biglaugh: sticking it to the man :thumbs2:

    the one bad thing it that the seats been in my car for about 2 months and last week the plastic didn't cover the seat and i think it was like 2 days and now there is a lighter spot kinda looks like it got dirty but the sun screwd it up i might have to paint them ? ( in page 4 )

    This is for the bigger guys reading all this ... seats like some of the Kirkeys get really specific in seat width. They are formed to keep you from sliding around in the corners.

    I am 6'1" and was looking at seats at a time that I weighed about 208. I was going to have to go to one of their wider seats. I have since slimmed down to 185, and can pretty much assure you that I could go down a size in that line of seats.

    Bottom line for me is that I would not buy seats without physically trying them out.

    Get a set of bucket seats out of a 1988 Bronco II. (kind of joking/kind of not) I had an 88 Bronco II and the bucket seats in that think had to be the most comfortable set of seat I have ever had in a vehicle
