Mathew Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 If anyone knows or can recommend, i put alfa leather front seats but trying to match the back on an estate is a nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 I also used alfa 156 seats didnt attempt any rear set change found the runners didnt quite match the floor stud holes and mounted them on rectangular box from Bq to enable offsetting the fixings about 10mm the fronts are seal grey ( almost black) the orig and rears are grey , nobody notices the colour mismatch any ideas of refoaming the originals you need a degree in typewriter design its a complex seat construction to strip and rebuild take lots of photos if you go that route Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 Got same fronts as yours pete but i modified the runners to fit the original holes in the floor and used imperial allen bolts to fix. The rear did not fit the estate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougbgt6 Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 GT is running a bit lumpy, well, very lumpy. Vacuum is down, how could this happen when it's not been used? I shall find out shortly, but first I have to fit these beauties. You have to get your priorates right. Other caps are available. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badwolf Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 Toothpaste tube caps. Very modern. Don't think they'll improve the engine running though....but then, you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they will give an extra 10hp at least like all the other miracle treatments offered on The Bay 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Lewis Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 i cut my own foams and fought the seat design to a standstill more clips wires bungy straps and a right nightmare of bits and peices ive been involved with trim over the years but this didnt work out hence alpha 156 got fitted Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 I wanted to get leather style to match in with the alfa seats I put up front. The contact i have had the leather style base but not the back, mine being an estate makes it a bit more difficult to find. He does have other sets if you need to swap. Pm me if you want his details.
