760 --> 940 seat compatibility. 700

I'm trying to purchase a set of Corbeau seats for my disintegrating 945 front seats.

they have brackets listed as "83-88 Volvo 760"

However, the bolt spacing is different.

Is there a difference between the early 760 seat brackets and later?

I ask becuase someone I was speaking with indicated that the earlier (83-86) 700 seats may be diffent than the 87+. Can anyone confirm?

Based on my conversation with the seller, the distance between bolt holes is more than an inch longer center to center for the driver's seat left side (closet to door All other measurements are at or close to spot on.


My measurements are:
Front CTC = 19"
Rear CTC = 19"
DOOR FTB = 18 3/4"
CONSOLE FTB = 18 3/4"

Their measurements are:
Front CTC 19"
Rear CTC 18 5/8"
Door FTB 20 7/16
Console Side FTB 18 5/16

Any thoughts?

      I knew that and that is usefull as a backup source. I'm still trying to wrap my head around why Corbeau is telling me that the bolt pattern for their seat adapter for 83-88 Volvo is so different than what I have.

      The only thing I can think of is that maybe, perhaps, could be that the first year 760 had a different bolt pattern?
