I started an incomplete project with 78 99 rails and 86 900 seats. The mid 900 seat bases are lower, which I prefer. I figured out that that old style rails will bolt to the 86 bases, I had a hole cut and to allow for the 78 adjuster. Plan is to reassemble after rust removal and reupholster. Modifying the the base required removing all upholstery and foam. I suggest finding the seats you want to buy and putting them in place in the car and checking the seat height with your body before deciding on Aero seats. I've found Aero seats uncomfortable high in and Aero. When you've got your seats match them to the bases and figure out how to modify them. Alternately you can weld/install the late 900/9000 style brackets to the you 900 body and the seats with bolt right in.
