I know the base, and where it mounts into the floor die... Replacement time, get some second hand pulsar SSS seats!

do the SSS seats bolt straight in? are there any other seats that will bolt straight in from other models?

You can get bases to suit 90% of the aftermarket seats (Recarom Paratus etc), but as for any dropping straight in, doubt it. The GQ has a high step on one side of the base, about 3-4inch, the other side is level.

you use the original runners that bolt to the seat, and base that bolts to the floor, the kit bolts all these bits together in the middle...

check your PM's about those windows.
