Will these seats fit?

Ive got my eye on some recaros from a Vectra SRI that have been modified as above. I'm right in saying these should fit aren't I?

Nope haven't checked those. I'm not brilliant technically or mechanically. I know that the vacuum lines were changed before I bought the car. Will have a look tomorrow. Its just behaving rather strangly.

Re: Weber Carb help needed.

Car is good but Pierburg is on its last legs. When it pulls to a stop if cuts out everytime now regardless of how long the engine has been running. Picked up a cheap Pierburg to do me until I find someone to do the Weber. Anybody know anyone good with Rocco's in South Yorkshire area?
