   Im getting another set of front seats off a vtr for the paxo jw are there any taller members of saxperience who have drilled holes into the seat sliders so the seats can be slid farther back.
   
   Im thinking of giving it a bash, but what do you guys think?

   I still think moving them and welding them would be the best bet?
