Cab seats in 2 door

I once saw a pic and instructions of pitting cab seats in a 2 door.

I have tried searching the forum but cant find it anywhere!

Can anyone help please!!

front seats will fit but rear seats are narrower and thus wont fit. front seats FYI are fixed with two (or four) bolts around 19mm covered usually by a black cap under your runners. slide the seat back and you get access to the front ones and vice versa if they exist at the back. It is worth noting that my cab front seats will not recline very far back i presume this is so they done hit the extra bracing found in a cab.

Rear seats WILL fit...

There was an E30 for sale on here with the rears in. Looked pretty cool actually. I think there's some work to be done and you have to include a fair amount of the interior panelling from the convertible too... side panels, rear panels, etc... Just take your time and don't get too frustrated with it.

Hope you can get them fitted. Wouldn't mind seeing the end result.

I remember asking the guy selling that car, he did say that there was a gap between the rear seat and the parcel shelf. Can't remember the guys name though sorry! It was a 316i in black with an M-tech kit.
