i spend so much time too figure how or what i'm gonna do to fit seat in the lotus7, sorry for my english, i'm a froggy french, but you will understand......... try camry seat, think to buy racing seats, and built my own seats........ no good results,..... for me, it is a (locost) 7...
finally i had 2 seat from a 1983 gmc vandura van (cube) seat for free. wow. it is simple to do, first the track are realy low and the seat frame is simple. for me, i reduss the width of 1 inch and it does fit a 46 inch wide frame.wow, im happy, so easy to do. cut and weld the seat frame back together. bang, done.....
