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.
