Have anyone tried using these seats?

They look like an awefuly good deal. I plan to mount them with some sliders.

I'm using them on my Wildcat build. I'm happy with them. I didn't purchase the upholstery yet. I wanted to see if the seats worked for me first.

Do you know the actual width of the seat? The product page says 16.75 wide, while a review said 17.25 wide. I got only about 17.25 inches of space.

Fit large, thick "fender" washers in the inside to reduce bending and tear through during an accident where the belt doesn't help, such as being rear-ended.

The base is 16inches wide. But it's 17.1/4 inches across the leading edge of the seat. That's at the height to the top of where the seat cusion would be. From there it flares to 17 5/8inches to the hips.

I've ended up bending the seat a little at the thighs through the hip area to get them to fit my car.

Good luck!
