x2.... My seats are ripped to shreds and smell like death. I seem to recall seeing a Yota on Craigs with Civic seats.... I've also heard that Celica seats mostly match up.

I used the front seats from an 87 Toy Camry for my 81. Had to bend the front seat rails and drill the 4 rear holes and bolted them in.

i replaced a bench with z28 seats in my 79. use the original mounts off the bench and one more set of mounts, bench or buckets, and swap the mounts. you will have to drill a hole on the mounts and locate them forward or back on the mounts.. iirc i moved mine forward on the mounts to have more room for the seats to recline and still had enough room for a set of 6x9 speakers facing up along with 6" speakers in the door. the stock mounts bolt in the original locations.

Check out my thread.....Swapped the bench for SR5 buckets....then ditched those for Honda Civic buckets. On both seats the driver side bolted right up except for one bolt. For the Honda seats the buckles obviously dont match....but the Yota seatbelts bolted to the honda seats like they were meant to be. As for the passenger side one bolt lined up on both sets.....the rest I just drilled new holes and used huge bolts.

I just finished installing buckets out of a 91 Prelude SI..
Total took about an hour or so, & no busted knuckles..

Took so long because the weld off the one of the DS rear mounts broke off below the cab so had to drill it out..

wow, this sure comes up a lot..might try to merge all the threads sometime

anyway;
Civic/Acura integra seats are very close to bolt in, the inside hole by the tunnel works fine on both the passenger and driver side. there is a whole towards the door that lines up close.

These things are great, there is a second hole about 1.25" over from the stock front outside mounting hole that lined up just about right, enlarged it just a hair and was able to use the inside front stock mount:

just had to cut off about the lower .25" or so of the stock bracket to allow it to sit flat on the floor.
I think that being able to use the stock front holes makes the install much more stable and install went very fast...
outside rear mount came up with something similar to WSUWeston's brackets:


The rear inside mount is flat, so ended up using the old stack of washers install method. Used grade 8 fender washers on the underside so that should help spread the load. After cutting out of floor section on a donor truck, I am pretty impressed at how well built these old trucks are...
They will have to come back out though when it fix the rust, needed to get them mounted though so I could still drive the old beast around


seat version 2.0 for me::
I too like the Prelude Seats..very comfy:
