The corbeau seat le pro is a pita to fit inn a left hand drive car  in the drivers position,the seat doesn't fit the seat rails so I had to weld it in place, paasenger side fits...


AFAIK Corbeau changed the shells and the current seats are meant to be fitted on the later (Toyota-)Elise seat rails from around 2007 onwards.

Earlier Corbeau seats were based on the S1 Elise so the seat rails from these (and the 340R for double-shear seatbelt mounts) worked.

Having said that.. They often are a bit 'difficult' fitment wise as Corbeau doesn't seem to be able to keep the dimensions of the seat shells themselves correct (too narrow or too wide, irregular shape, etc.) and often the threaded inserts in the seat shells are bonded in at an angle or offset by several mm in some direction so even seat rails that are supposed to fit tend to need 'modifications' to work.

 

Seems that the jigs/moulds they use to make the seat shells are not very good.

Bye, Arno.
