I'll post more pics in a bit.. Thanks again guys... Mjclemm...
Square peg?

The Camaro seat isn't bolted into the bracket?

It's bolted completely different then the Monte seat is. I'd have to have made a new cradle to make it work.. Yes, it can be done, but much much easier to adjust the existing Camaro bracket to oft the Monte Carlo set up... The Monte cradle is about 1 1/2" wider than the Camaros, it's also about 3" longer

I just did a quick diagram to show what I meant... Hope this explains it... Thanks again...mjclemm..

That's some interesting information. You have me intrigued. I have a car I want to swap seats into, but don't know which ones yet.

Look good. I thought they would look too small when I first seen the thread but they dont. Nice work.

Where did you source those seats? Can they be ordered?
I'm trying to find smaller seats to put in mine (2002) and those look sharp. If I can get some I would like to see more of how you did it. I can fab a bracket with some measurements I think.

There is a set exactly like them on Ebay right now.. I also know a dude with Black Leather SS seats for $1000..... I got mine from Camaro5.com. The brackets can be fabed pretty easily, if I did it, anyone can do it...lol...give er a shot.. Love that someone else wants this as well... I'm telling you, it's the best thing I've done so far to my Monte.... Hands down ...

Those were a direct bolt on to your 97's frame though right?
