boyracer Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I know people have installed these before but I thought I would show some pictures of the fit of the Corbeau LG1 seats in my '72 240z. Corbeau bracket #C22011, mounts easily, no modification necessary. I used 35mm M10 bolts, Class 10.9 which fit the Datsun holes perfectly. Bracket mounted. I needed to disassemble the bracket a bit to get the bolts in. Seats installed. I used two small washers to lift the back of the seat up about 4mm. I was worried about the seat width but they do not touch the door at all, there is a good gap. They aren't too tall, similar to stock. The colour appears blue in the photos, but it is black cloth. Material is good, better than I thought it would be. Of course, they are a huge improvement over stock and provide a lot of support. I chose these over the Corbeau TRS or CR1 models as they have lower seat bolsters making them very easy to get in and out of. They are also fairly light, I didn't weigh them but felt close to the stock weight. A number of people have modified the seat mounts to lower the seats in the car but I didn't feel that was necessary for me, I have about 1-2 inches of headroom. I am 6' tall but have longer legs so maybe that is the reason. I haven't put many miles on these yet so we will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Those seats look great! How much were they, and where did you purchase them? I have these Corbeau GTS II now, but would like to find a pair like your's in leather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyracer Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 Those seats look great! How much were they, and where did you purchase them? I have these now, but would like to find a pair like your's in leather. Got them from http://www.racingseatscheap.com/ for $986 w/brackets and free shipping. They are almost the same price anywhere and get drop shipped from Corbeau directly so the vendor really just processes the order. I ordered them on Tuesday, shipped on Wednesday and they arrived on Friday, was a real quick and easy experience. They look great in leather too from the pictures I have seen. What's wrong with yours? They look great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUNNY Z Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Would these fit a 280 with the infamous catalytic bump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyracer Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 Not sure but there is room for my hand to slide between the tunnel and the seat, albeit barely near the front of the seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZUL8TR Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I have the LG1 installed in a 280ZXT. I have height issues. Going to try the Corbeau brackets next to see if I can drop them lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
