cygnusx1 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Dennis, we need some pics! Â Glad the Bimmer seats worked out. Â I didn't even realize that the 280Z and the 240Z used a completely different mounting configuration until I built my 240Z over this past Winter.

Z_DUBS Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Mine were from ebay last May and were close enough (90 miles away) that I avoided shipping costs. Be aware that there are different mounting configurations on the BMW seats. Mine are not mounted like the ones seen above and required a little more involved bracket to attach the stock Z seat runners. Welding was not necessary - everything bolts together. I'll post pictures if anyone is interested. The passenger seat went in yesterday and the driver's seat is a work in progress. Dennis I am interested in seeing pictures of your custom seat brackets to adapt the BMW e30 sport seats to the stock Z seat runners. I recently aquired a pair of e30 sport seats and am looking to put them into my 73' 240Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psdenno Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Here are two links to pictures of what I did. The first link has a rough drawing of the mounting bracket layout. The second link shows the finished product on one of the seats. All pieces are bolted together - no welding required. All material available at your local Big Box Hardware Store.

Z_DUBS Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Looks like a nice mount, do you happen to have any measurements for locating where the holes must be drilled? What size of plate did you use for the cross pieces and L brackets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
