Yes… But… (There's always a but!) the adjuster handle for the seat slide is on the wrong side. So you can live with it or sort it.

I also found that part of the subframe is too low with my soundproofing and carpets in so had to hack it off with a hacksaw accordingly (only on the outside of each seat…)

HTH

<edit>You will also need to either swap the seatbelt stalks on the seats for mk1 ones or put corrado catches on the mk1 belts</edit>

sorry to hijack the thread, wozza if the adjuster handles are on the wrong side, can't you swop the seats over or would the  tilt mech be on the wrong side then?
cheers

So many dubs so little time, so much rust

The tilt handle would be on the wrong side (a pain for passengers trying to get into the back) + I'm not sure you can swap the seatbelt stalks over. I don't think there is a fixing on the other side for them… Not 100% on that though. Will have a look later to see…

But then the handles for the height adjustment have to come off as they are in the way…

I think I am going to try to get some tube welded in place on the chassis so that the adjuster pin sits in there and works as it should do. No swapping handles etc & mk1 seats will fit back in with no messing too…

They only end up on the inside if you swap the seats around... Drivers to passengers and vice versa. You only do this because the slide adjuster is on the wrong side... Originally in the corrado the adjuster is on the outside.
