Deutsch do make connectors in that range, as do Amphenol, ITT Cannon and others. They are D38999 Series connectors on Ryan's car.

Nice
Just be careful getting in and out of them, if you misjudge it and sit on the side part instead it can bring tears to your eyes.
(I had bucket seats many moons ago and did that a few times!!)

They'll be a snug fit that's for sure.

Very nice seats though.
