Should be in styling...

The seats should fit fine. Might have to drill a couple of holes for the subframes (which you'll probably need to get) in order to secure them to the chassis, but other than that, they should be ok. You could get side mounts if you want, but you won't be able to move the seats forwards or backwards.

Have Cobra Monacos and had Cobra Imolas too.

Both fit very easily, but the imolas are slightly wider at the bottom/bolster bits, and so the door pockets foul them. Only slightly though, you can still close them. But it'd be best to change the doorcards.

The Monacos fit without touching anything.

I used Cobras tailored subframes (?50 each) and to fit those you just need to drill two holes for the rear fixing, and bolt it in the existing front mounting points. A monkey could do it.

shit, just realised that my post meant to say Monacos and Daytonas.

I molas are almost identical to Monacos. It's the Daytonas that were a bit fouling the pockets. Were nice seats though.
