Tom,
To be honest I think you would find 150 seats to be far less hassle, first you have to find the Alon or Mooney seats, second they are not attached, they just have 4 pegs on the bottom that fit into holes. So it is really your (belted in) butt that keeps them in place. Works well but still not as solid as I would like, You also have to fabricate the "seat pan" they sit on. They are nice since you can pop one out in about 2 seconds for when you are loading luggage in the back, but my 150 seats swing forward to ease loading. You can install a set of 150 seats in a day easily and mine only cost me $75.oo for both of them. I hate to think what a set of Alon seats would go for or how long it would take to install them. At any rate bucket seats are the single best mod I have made on my Coupe. If you have rudder pedals you have no idea how much more comfortable you will be.
