Daytona seats in L body

[vntned]

what would it take to put Daytona seats into an Omni/Horizon?

i think the front seats should bolt in directly without a problem. the rear are a different story. i think the fronts should be no problem tho

They are not a direct swap. The Daytona seats are are wider at the base where they bolt to the L-body seat sliders. You will need to mig weld two pieces of flat stock across the bottom of the Daytona seats (from side to side) and drill the new cross pieces to match the bolt pattern of the L body seat sliders. If that explanation makes any sense at all. The Daytona seats in my Scamp are an awesome upgrade from the stock seats. Worth the effort! - Bill

Power seats? That'd be a nice upgrade. They'd probably sit nice and low in an L body too.

I didn't use the power seat base. I put the enthusiast seats on the manual L-body sliders. The drivers side still retains the power seat "wings" and the air bladders for lumbar and thigh support. Comfy! The only drawback is wieght. The drivers seat weighs like 600 lbs. - Bill

just unbolt them from the old frame and bolt the ones from the daytona frame onto those, thats a direct swap

just unbolt the old ones from your omni frames and get the ones from the daytona unbolted and bolted to your frame, thats as easy as it gets

[BB3]

um... yeah. It's as easy as that, except they will not bolt together.

improvise, drill new holes or get longer or shorter hardware depending on what the problem getting them together is. bolting them to the other track shouldt bring you much trouble at all. I installed Ford bronco bucket sets in a Chevy Pickup and the floors were totally different( tracks not straight, floor perfetly straight). i drilled my own holes, got bolts to fit and washers and its not like its a hard thing to do for any car. Shims end up being one of the major things you need to use in the end.
