Thanks for the info Mick. I think they look superb.
How do you find the tilting mechanism? Probably another question to answer with a bit of use but would be interested to hear what you think.
Regards

Glad you are happy Mick. Over the years I spent alot of time getting to know Cesere, and I was always impressed by his work.

It's quite limited but useful. Ideal for small people but there's still the trip hazard of the seatbelt fixed to the seat frame. Basically it gives you enough room to chuck luggage into the back and strap it down. An improvemnt on what I had before - Corbeau buckets on non-tilting frames
At least I can get into the back to vacuum it out and clean the rear glass now

Sounds like they are ideal Mick. I would just be wanting little people in the back so should be fine as long as they don't trip on the way in.
Thanks for all the feedback, much appreciated.
Regards

Sorry Mick, missed this. The seats look fantastic, I`m glad you`re pleased with them.
Cultivating some rust on the floor pan to complement the colour scheme is a very clever idea, will you be putting a coat of clear laquer over it ?
Looking forward to seeing the seats in person,
Mike.

Mick they look fantastic. Did they make you frames without the distance bushes?
I will post when I got them removed. Started a new quite distracting project (recovering a 1300 GTJ Bertone with 2000 engine
)

Rust? Where? There's no rust in there Mike! It's the original (body colour) paint that's fooling you

mick, can you post a picture of the side of the brackets? Particularly the part where the rails meet the black coloured metal. On top of that I'm interested how they solved the handle to operate the rails for the sliding mechanism

Hope these help - seats now fitted so difficult to get exactly what you need.
If you need any more info then let me know and I'll try to help.

Thanks Mick, difficult to see on your pics. Please look at a pic from me.
The bushes are inside the red ovals.

Mick, do your brackets have these bushes?

Sorry Niels, forgot to look last time
Just been and had a look now - can't see anything like those bushes.
