33 Coupe Interior 2        5/15/04

I have been waiting for my seats to arrive for sometime now and they finally got here. The seats are made by Tea's Design and after seeing them, they were worth the wait. These seats are beautiful to say the least and I couldn't be happier with them. Tea's has quite a few designs to choose from and this one is called the "Sport Tea" which is covered in leather like my steering wheel. Tom at Tea's Design did the sewing him self which is rare. I asked him if he had lost his touch or not when I talked to him on the phone and by looking at them, he hasn't. You can have your seats covered in just about any material that you want but the leather and ultra-leather will cost you a bit more. 
 

 

 

A quick look at the back just because they look so nice. There's not much room behind the seats once there're installed but they do recline in case you were to use them in a sedan. 
 

 

 

The bottom has mounting rails for the adjustable (sliders) tracks to bolt too. Mine came with two different sets of tracks, one short set and one longer set. It's hard to see in this picture but there are three sets of holes in each mounting rail. There's a switch attached to that cable which is used to recline the seat. One nice thing about the reclining mechanism is that it's infinitely adjustable which is nice so you can find just the right angle that's comfortable for you. This switch gets mounted on the side or back of the seat depending on where you want it or what works best for your application.
 

 

 

These are the tracks that I used out of the two that I received. They have 11" of travel compared to 8" for the others. The one big reason that I used these over the shorter ones is because of where the mounting studs were located. What looks like bolts sticking out of the tracks are really the 5/16 diameter mounting studs that are not removable. The longer distance between the studs is why I used these because they missed the X-member which is part of the chassis. The shorter ones were going to have one of the two studs end up going through the X-member so using the longer ones would avoid this and be much easier to bolt up. The only problem with the longer ones is that they are heavier and require a rod to be placed between them to release both tracks. Not a big deal though.
