corrado seats (was:RE: Steering wheel q's)

[wasserbox@yahoo.com (Mark Mages)]

Not close at all
The latches are 1" each side from fitting
The base of the back is 2" off on each side 
The corrado rear seat bottom has the pokey part, where
the scirocco has it on the car
The seat bottom is too narrow
The center armrest requires a plate with mounting
holes
The seats are a 60/40 split, and would require the
welding of new mounts.
The metal where the seat sits in a S is not concave
enough to allow flush mounting.

I have seen it done though.

Mark~ who has a C rear seat sitting in his garage
collecting dust.
