I really need help with my seats

I bought these original Torinos from Sparco, and when my bro made them rails mods, he couldnt shut the door right after, could anyone PLEASE PLEASE point me in the right direction. Is there any write ups? if they are, I can't seem to find them on the board with the search function. I know you guys are gonna say search, but I've been trying ever since I bought these seats 2 months ago. I would really appreciate it if someone could just show me a write up with some dimensions and pics of the install.

Please?

I believe the saying goes: "Measure twice, cut once."

How much clearance is there on the other side (center of the car)? It sounds like you need to measure again (and again and again...) and modify your design.


This is all assuming that you've got the exact same seats as what others have used. Sparco Torinos are NOT the same width as every other seat made by Sparco, for instance the SPG's, etc...

Best of luck,
