If it is comfortable I was thinking about using the same seat in the drivers side! But then I recognized the the steering wheel and the bench are not on the same middle line!
So if I finally switch to Recaro on the driver side , I will never be able to install the bench again on the same pedestal.

I‘m back again!
Here are my results! I‘m very glad to have done it!
The standard bench doesn‘t swivel 90°, but the Recaro works perfekt and swivels 160°.
Some picture are following!

This picture schied that the seat middle and the steering wheel are not in the same line. The blue line on the floor is the melde of the steering wheel.

And here is the Recaro installation.
After this season the console will be change again.
The back side of the console will be shortened to the back of the seat in the same alignment. This gives me more freedom of movement.
The smile of a happy handicapped Son is worth of all the effort

Oh you’re right. That smile says it all!
With those seats it looks like you’re ready for a rocket launch.

Priceless! So is the whole base new as well. Are those shock absorbing bases?
