Default 69 Camaro Seat Modification

Finishing up a 69 Camaro, this late (Oct 69) car only has the one set of seat bolt holes, some have a second set 1 to 1.5 inches further back. A guy interested in buying the car is physically too big for it. I seem to remember seeing a seat track modification kit that allows you to move the seat postion back a few inches. Is something out there like that or am I just having a wishful thinking moment. Anyone out there heard of soch a thing?

These will move the driver's side seat back 2 additional inches. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1967-69-G...=item4cf6efa939

I have used a guy that goes by the name of Nitrotat on e-bay on 5 cars that I have owned. I think he sells the extenders for about $50.00 and I have never had a problem with the products.

dave, i used the seat extenders and they work well.....bought them from ebay - @ 50 bucks

If i recall, i added a spacer on the rear sections brtween the bkt and the bolt hole to give it solid support......easy to figure out when u see it

No kidding? I had my '67 seats redone with new foams, springs and covers back in 2002 and when I put them back in the car I felt like I had to slouch down to keep my head off the headliner, even at full-aft adjustment. I'll bet when the shop put the seats back together they put them on the shorter-guy position! I'm taking my seats out TOMORROW and checking the settings.
