Default Evo IX seats in a 69 Camaro?

Found a decent deal locally & I'm wondering if anyone has tried to install these seats in a 1969 Camaro?

Evo IX Recaro seats:

I know the Evo8 seats have been done. From my understanding these are pretty much the Recaro Sport so you may be able to use the Wedge brackets for them. I would call them. One thing you may want to do to is look on the Evo forums. I know some guys have removed them and replaced with something else claiming they are not really comfortable. I have no personal experience with that but thats what I found when I searched it when I was considering them.

I'll definately check out what they have to say on the Evo forums before I pull the trigger on them - Thanks for the tip.

I have those seats in my 68. I found a set on Craigslist for $760 and had no choice but to jump on them. Their Recaro Sport seats. They fit perfectly with the Wedge bracket. I can get the part number and post it once I get home.

Yeah, I would rally appreciate that. Just ran my first AutoCross with the stock seats and they definately have to go.
