Corbeau GTS II in a Nova

[rchaskin]

Has anyone put a set of Corbeau GTS II seats in their ride?

I have a bench seat 71 Nova.
I am wodering if the brackets that Wedge engineering makes will fit a bench seat car, of if the brackets only work with a factory bucket seat floor pan.

I called Wedge, and the guy I spoke with said he couldn't answer my questions, that the people who started the company and knew everything had all passed away!?!?!?

Any input would be helpfull.

I used some wedge engineering brackets in my 67 camaro, that was originally equipped with a split bench. The bucket or bench seat bolt to the same holes, the only difference is the bench did not use the holes closer to the transmission tunnel. I would think the nova would be the same. The wedge brackets bolted right in. I was also going to use the gts II' s but I opted for a set of cerrullos, The seats are great and the staff at cerrullo were very helpful, you might want to check them out..

I have GTS II's in my Formula with Corbeau brackets and they are too high. It is not high on my list of priorities right now but at some time, I will have to weld up some replacements.

Are the brakets from Corbeau made by Wedge engineering? If so then yes I used them in my 69 bench seat car. It was super easy. All I had to do was drill two more holes in the floor pan. I just bolted the bracket down to make the new holes then un-bolted it so I could drill the new holes.

Thanks Andrew.

I was hoping that would be the case.

What seats did you use? Do you have any pics?

I hope to buy a set of soon.

[69Nova]

No problem. I used a FX1 for the drives seat and the a LG1 for the passanger seat(I really like that the LG1 alot).

Picture...


Good luck

Andrew how comfortable is the drivers seat on long drives? Did you have that seat when you were on the power tour? Thanks, Nathan

[69Nova]

Yeah I got the seats right before the power tour. On the comfort part yeah I like it alot. But I'm short and I like to sit fairly straight up. On the power tour I did 3 days of driving and didnt mind the seat at all. Compared to a stock seat its light years better in my opinion. Defintly lower seating position and way better than a bulky beanch seat ever was.

With that said when I buy another like it I'll defintly get a tube frame seat. The FX1 does have some flex to it. I'd look into the Forza(if you go with corbeau)

Thanks I'm looking right now. I want a comfortable seat to drive but I also want it to hold me up when I'm auto crossing. Thanks for the help.

I had the GTS II seats in my 72 nova. I thought they were very comfortable and supportive. They also did a good job holding me in in the twisties. I'll see if I can find a pic.

I switched seats for a month or so. Took the drivers seat out and put the passanger seat as the drives seat. It defintly held me in place. And was super comfortable. Honestly I kinda want to buy a drivers seat to match my passanger seat.
