Can anyone tell me the basic dimensions of the stock seat F5 supplies with the 33 HR,

I want to upgrade the interior on my build. Was looking at these seats from Cambridge Upholstery. I wonder if they will fit. Possibly someone else has used them.

These have measurements of: 18.25 Wide, 29 High, 23 Deep. I have ordered the wider AOD tunnel. Thoughts?

Did you end up with these seats? I am looking at a set from Summit Racing and wondering the same thing, will they fit with the AOD tunnel.

Build is looking good. You mentioned you painted your calipers. Did you spray bomb them, use a gun, or have them painted for you? Mine ride will be flat black, built in a very small garage (I am jealous of your lift), some aluminum on the motor and almost all else black. I am considering small inserts of red here and there, and the calipers looked great. Here are the seats I am considering as well:

Here is the dimensions for the basic seats. Maybe you already have them. on the bottom the width is 17 1/4" and length 19 1/2".
Looking down from the top the width is 18 3/4", Length 26" and Height is 22 1/2". I hope this helps .

Maczter... Painted the callipers with high heat calliper paint in a rattle can. Also have a pint of same paint to touch up. Despite cleaning well and scotch rioting the hell out of them, the paint is fragile for quite some time... It tough not to scratch them putting them back together. I really would have rather powder coated them but I may upgrade the brakes later anyway, so this was good for me.

As for seats... Take a look at jgarner's build page http://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showthread.php?5599-Joe-s-33-Hot-Rod-Build
He used seat from a C4 vette. The F5 seats seem so much smaller than those yet they seem to fit... This is why I was curious as to the dimensions.

I can't find the actual dimensions for these, but they look nice and seem very reasonably priced. I'm going to have my interior customized by a friend and business associate so I'm looking for a better platform for him to work with. I have seem some nice pics on this site that I may use ideas from... Except for the orange being red in my case... I'm leaning to mods something like this... And my guess is these started with the basic seat from F5
