FWIW, I just finished the install of Scat Procar Rally seats into my 68. The install was easy and took 45 minutes.

Summit has raised its prices on the seats and brackets--an increase of around $60 for the whole set. Jegs is the same price as before (for now) and Summit will price match.

The seats are very firm and hold you very tight. They also sit you up a couple of inches higher (I am 5' 9" and my head is about 3" from the roof).

Because they are taller, it is harder to turn around in the seat when backing up.

The higher seat also presses you closer to the steering wheel and you have to move the seat back in order to get out easily.

That said, they are awesome seats and I am glad I made the switch.

There were two issues that I quickly resolved:

1. The wire used to adjust the seats forward/backward was too long. As discussed on TC previously, you can shorten it by grabbing it with pliers and twisting it in the center. The creates a "Z" in the wire that you can use to get the adjuster to work smoothly.

2. There were no directions on what direction to install the brackets. I called Scat and they said install them with the numbers on the frame (204 or 205) towards the front.

Here are the seats:

look just like mine, like they belong there! i had the same issues. i'm 5'7" and they're perfect for me, but i still like to slide the seat back for entry and exit as to not wear down the side bolster. you can take a razor blade to those white tags on the sides to get rid of them; it looks alot cleaner without them. you have my seatbelts, too! they work alot better with the procar seats than with the stock ones.

I've got them in my '68 convert. Next to the TKO 5 speed, they are the best modification I've made. Had all the same issues with seat track wires and brackets. You would think ProCar would get tired of the phone calls and just improve the instructions.
