Default Cages and putting seats in?

Is it a pain, i'm getting a welded in cage shortly and i'm wondering how easily seats go in?

Thanks

Depending on which seats you go for they can be a tight squeeze!!!

As you know my cage was from custom ,and needed to be painted when I got it back so seats were removed.
I bought a brand new corneal pro series carbon seat XL and when fitting it had to be carefull not to scratch the paint on door cross over bars and A and B puller supports it was a tight squeeze but went in,just be carefull with the head restraints style of seat as I trial fitted a prodive carbon WRC seat with these and yes the seat went in but couldn't get it in the right position as the wings were hitting the A puller supports!

Even with a standered seat the side wings just touch the B pillar support in standered seat mountings
