? seat rails w/ fiberglass pan


    Today we swept the dust out of the workshop and started working on
putting in our fiberglass pans from Innovations.  I wanted to use the
original seats, so we tried cutting the old pan out around the seat rail
(the outer rails on both sides which are attached to the pan, not the ones
on the transmission hump).
    By the end of the day we pretty much gave up on the idea of re-using
the old seats and rails because it is so hard to get the rails in the right
place.  The metal just doesn't conform to the shape of the fiberglass pan.
We don't want to hack away at the pan for fear of weakening it.  My husband
likes the idea of getting some bolt-on seats that recline and have head
rests.  He would just weld some angle iron for a base.
    Does anyone have recommendations for bolt-on seats?

    Have any of you successfully installed fiberglass pans in a T3?  If so,
we would like to read some tips before we spend any more quality time with
the Makita reciprocating saw...I swear to you that we will someday drive
this car!!!!
