Posted: Sun Mar 02, 2008 1:27 am Post subject: scat/procar...any experience?
Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with these Scat/Procar seats. They sell on summit for 150 each. I've seen them mounted and they look good, nice and clean lines and all. But are they comfortable at all? I find my old worn down bench that I need to be rid of rather comfy, maybe a bit springy but still pleasant. If anyone has any experience with these I'd love it if you could share it. Also, how are the side bolsters on these, would they be tight on a medium-sized person? Here's one I was considering, you can get it with the back and seat piece in the center in either vinyl or velor, I was thinking vinyl cause it'll hold up longer and to be honest I think it looks nicer. You can also get the sides in different colors but I'm not a fan of that.
Here's a link to see the whole line:

Yepper ~~~ I love um ~~ quite comfi I might add ~~ had em just over a year now I'd say ~~~ they really allow for allot more leg room also ~~ mine were a bit tricky gettig in cause of the tall backs, not HARD, just TRICKY. IN A NUTSHELL ~~ glad i did it!!!! see link below -->
I have the tall backs and like em a lot. They're better than I expected. The only thing I had a problem with were the slide adjusters. Only one side latches and on hard starts and stops the seat moves a little bit. Don't notice it in normal driving. Whatever that is. Rick[img]

Cool they both look great. They look a bit different from the picture but I suppose its all the same. Thanks a lot guys. Oh, also, do they fold forward for access to the back?

Do they just bolt up? Or do you require seat mounts,& if so how much,which ones and from where? i have some used Monte Carlo buckets I was putting in after I rip out my split bench,but it might be cheaper & easier to just go your route,because I have to re-upholster them. _________________ '79 Chevy Corvette,350 sbc- '78 Olds Cutlass Supreme,350 sbo'- 99 Mitsubishi Galant,3.0 V6- '84 Chevy El Camino Conquista,305 sbc
Max, you have the split bench so mounting the seats will be a lot easier. The inner mounts are already there.You could probably just use a piece of plate steel or aluminum and some spacers drilled to fit the floor mounts and then mount the seats to the plate. You'll need the spacers to raise the plate above the floor seam and to set the seat to the angle you want. Once you get it set remove the spacers and weld or bolt on brackets to fit.
I had the full bench so I used the Summit mounts which are just 2x2 angle with adjustment holes. You get 4 pieces per seat and you can put em together to make either a channel or a Z bracket. I had to notch the lower half to fit over the floor seam.
