Have you thought about getting them re trimmed?
80 series seats are quite narrow you may find out hard to get an easy swap.

I put falcon xr8 seats in mine from a au. Had to weld the original cruiser rails to it though.

the drivers seat frame is buggered aswell as the foam and cover so i need to replace the whole lot cant just retrim. Howise with welding the falcon seats in did it change the height of the seat as i am 6ft 6 tall i dont want to make the seat any higher than stock.

It did raise the seat maybe 5cm max but I could have taken almost 4 cm off if id cut the steel guides on. The falcon seat down ill post a pic tomorrow if I remember.

I am 6ft and.fit easily but i also have a smaller sports steering wheel on
