AGP and APE standard seats (height adjust)
« on: December 11, 2011, 03:21:40 PM »
any one have any idea if the passenger seat can be lowered or if the mechanism can be fitted from the left hand drive cars

a few people have commented on how high the seat is, so sat in it the other day and my head touches the roof :/ so was thinking of lowering it

I was thinking this too. Only solution I can think of would be getting hold of a lhd seat and fitting it. Don't see why abarth did this as ment they had to make 4 diffrent set of runners instead of 2

Abarth wont sell you a LHD seat, something about homologation.

Buy some a set from a scrap yard, buy both sides and swap them over. By the way I have lowered both my drivers and passenger seat. A bit of cutting and some drilling and its now low enough to give me a comfortable driving position.

Ive posted it on here elsewhere.
