Mine fitted just fine, and so have many others I've seen. I don't think you'll have too many dramas.

I got them as a Bday pressie :D off ebay I think yeah. I've had mine in since april and love em. I've put a bit more padding in mine too ;) They take a bit to get used to, but they sure keep you in your place when needed :armsup: On long trips onroad I don't like them as they are non reclinable though.

I have one of these seats off Ebay. They are basically a Monza rip off but they are narrower and so more suited to Zuk's (and narrow arses). Once you get used to getting in and out of them they are pretty damn good. You don't move around at all once your in it. The seat rails are 5mm wider then the stock rails and after stuffing about trying to make Zuk rails fit seat, I just drilled holes in the body brackets and used high tensile bolts and large washers. Sturdy as, and no doubt a rolling defect :finger: but it works.

Got a set of SAAS recliners in mine, the shoulders are tight to the targa bar, but otherwise neat fit.

Fitted using stock rails, redrilled rails and floor pan, used stainless 50mm angle on drivers rear to allow the rails to move in.

All engineered and legal.

I think as lond as they are secured to your old seat mounts or slidey thing they alright but it's when you rip all that out and put other stuff in that it gets ugly!

in queensland at least they must be adr compliant and any change of seat must be mod plated. If you change seat mounting system etc. I presume an engineer must be involved if its even legal.
