Roscoe: Seats?

I know I've asked you before about your seats. I really want to change to a different seat than the leather ones I have from A & C. If I remember you had to do something to them to get them to fit because they are wider. I know JohnPolling in Ft. Wayne actually cut down the width of his transmission tunnel and fabricated a new thinner one to accomodate those seats.
How did you do it and how did you mount them? What does the bottom of the seat look like, A & C's is a fiberglass shell that I attached the adjusters to on a width I thought was about right them layed out the adjuster to floor mounting screws, put a 1-1/2" spacer in front and a 3/4" spacer in back and then bolted to the floor with large washers unders the fiberglass floor.
Does your seats give you good support under your legs and lower back? I know there seems to be good lateral support.
Just looking for as much info on the mounting before I decide to order. Do not want to modify tunnel like John did.

Aaron: if I decide on the new seats you can always pick up my leather A & C seats pretty cheap since I won't need them. The passenger seat looks like new but the drivers seat looks like someone has been sitting in it for 10,000 miles, they are black leather by the way. I maybe even selling the adjusters with them depending on what the bottom of the Cobra seats looks like.
Roscoe any help would be appreciated, like always. Pic's too especially during build if you have any, like the bottom of the seat or how the fit between the tunnel and the sides.

Thanks,
Jim
