Widening R32 Gtr Seats?

[Incurafy]

I bought a pair of R32 GTR seats in excellent condition a few weeks ago, and after sitting in the passenger seat thought they were a great fit. It wasn't until I got home and installed them that I realised that the drivers seat is somehow narrower than the passenger to the point that sitting in them for more than 5 minutes results in pain in my sides and thighs as the bolstering digs into me. I can tell that they're great seats, and despite the fact that I'm sitting on them instead of in them, they still hold me better than my stock GTS-T seats. There's also no problems with ADR approval and the police won't look twice. This is pretty important to me.

I was going to sell them, but after a buyer screwed me around I'm considering modifying them to suit me. Has anyone done this? Is it an easy thing to do, or should I just sell them and try and find something that will fit me comfortably? Will I be compromising the integrity of the seats if I attempt to widen the bolstering by pulling/bending metal railing?

Cheers for any help.

EDIT: Worth noting that the passenger seats are 100% fine. They're a little snug, but I could very easily sit in them for a few hours without any issues. What's up with that? Surely that's not normal, lol.

EDIT2: Not sure if this is the right section, didn't think it belonged in fabrication though. Apologies if it's wrong.

Probably the old owner had a big girlfriend so she has widened the passenger seat automatically and he was obviously a small guy

Can't you just swap the seats over ?

Swap rails then plastics etc or are they definitely 1 sided, honestly not looked that much at mine

All the recline gear is on one side, some weird chain and sprocket arrangement. Might be very hard to swap side to side

Are they definitely wider? I thought the 32/33 seats were the same and the 34's were bigger.

33 and 34 seats are wider than 32.

Actually she was pretty slim, must have been the owner before them.

Awesome, I'll sell these and lookout for a pair of 33's. Thanks mate!

Much easier to sell them as a pair, sorry mate.
