Audi 5000 Seats in a Type 85

[Tony Hoffman]

I've done this on a set of Jetta 16V seats, and it was fairly simple. In
that example, one of the sides and the center rail lined up. So, we just cut
and shortened/reangled the other side and welded it up. Pretty simple. I've
also heard of people heating and bending the brackets, but in the case of
the A6 seats, I think they are probably too wide to just bend. Anyhow, let
us know how it turns out, and I for one would love to see pics when you are
done.
