the s14 rears are not as wide so you have a gap,meaning you have to adjust the catches on the rear as they don't meet.also iirc i drilled a couple of holes to hold the rear of the base as well:) not to bad but i'd allow that time to do it

fitted the seats now guys the back a bit of a pain to do aint it,but do able :thumbs:
as for the fronts drop straight in,with regards to the gaps on the rear is it really worth covering some sponge? i mean really its like mm.
any way pics show results im well happy

It's not to tricky really is it in the end, I extended the pivots out and up and moved the catched and to be honest the gap doesn't show that much.

When i fitted the cream leathers to mine i had a look on here and someone has nicely given some measurements to make up some L-plates to link the hinges in their normal position to the back section, then i just bent the catch loops into the correct position.
As said you don't really notice the extra gap on the back.

It's not as descriptive as other write ups. Can anyone elaborate?
