Rivets drilled out.

You then center the manual operated seat in the passanger side on the floor making sure you can operate the lean back lever and drill holes for the bolts. I drilled the two frount and inner side rear. (you will see why when you get it in the car)
Bolt it down and you are done with the pass. side.

Note the seat height compaired to the stock driver seat.

If you use a manual seat on the drivers side then the install would be the same. However I chose to install the power seat which requires two notches in the floor. Note the cut on the tunnel side was too wide it can be the same as outside. One also has to cut the frount lip of the brace that runs under the floor. I plan to patch the holes from underneath later. The best way to get a feel for where to cut is to put the seats with one bolt in with a in or so play in and operate the controls which will leave scratches on the floor.

When you put the seat in to drill the holes use the outer frount stock hole and the inner frount track hole and the position will be about right.

Should look like this.

Caviat is your height. I am 5 6 and it was comfortable for me but I am still going to swap out the 15 in wheel for a 13 1/2 aftermarket for a little extra clearance. This car does not have tilt/telly

With the stock seats, are you drilling holes in the C5 seat bracket, or are you drilling holes in the floorpan of the C3 and putting new holes below?

Also, how is your roll bar mounted? I am planning one and would really like a picture if you could. Does it clear the soft top mechanism?

Thanks

I could use a little clarification as well, what is bolting to what and in what holes?

And how much higher do you sit vs the C3 seats? Can you measure that for us? Pleasssssssse?

I'm so curious because I have a pair of C5 seats (sitting in a BR closet), both power and I'm planning on rebuilding the whole floorboard 2"-3" lower and providing inlayed nuts in the C3 floorboard for the C5 track bolts. But don't intend to undertake that task until the body is off.

Thanks

The roll bar is welded to the frame and was done before I got the car, will try to make pictures next time I go to the paint shop which is where it is waiting for the guy to get done. I have to put in the six speed and 3.08 rear and hope to drive it to Monteray in Aug from Fl.
