rear seats--coupes and convertibles

["Henry Hopkins" <hhrp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Seat bottoms are not the same where the edge touches the carpet.  Had that
experience, too. the hump going down the center of the passenger compartment
is wider on the convertible to accommodate the X frame with enough wiggle
room for the dual exhaust pipes to go through--so floor pan is different.
The cut out that fits over the hump for a coupe is too narrow.  I didn't
realize this and so my seat doesn't fit perfectly.  However, coupe lower
seat is the same width.  I remember now since the seat I used for the bottom
part is from a coupe, hence the problem with the floor pan differences.

Cheers, Henry
