    Late sport seats into early car

    Hey all,
    I recently got some later model sport seats that I'm swapping into my sedan. The bolts coming from the floor of the car are not long enough to bolt down the seats. What does everyone else do to make it work? Swap the rails over from the factory seats?

    Thanks!

    They should swap over perfectly. Make sure you have everything lined up correctly?

        Oh weird. Both sides were like that. I'll check over my work again and report back. Thanks!

          I believe 84 cars had very different sliders, check to see the the sliders are the same. If they aren't swap in your old sliders. They are interchangeable.
