Ok, i have a 94 gt that came with leather seats. They were junk, so i sourced a cloth set out of a 95 anniversary edition (the floor mats i got with the seats are 25th anniversary, so i am to believe that the car was an anniversary edition as well, but i could be wrong.) I installed the seats and tossed the old ones assuming that everything would be fine seeing as i was going oem to oem. Well, after getting the car on the road, and actually trying to use the seatbelts, i realized was horribly wrong. The seat belt buckle itself (the piece that clips into the receptacle) on the car is too short to clip into the receptacles bolted to the seats. So my question is: what year/trim buckle receptacles do i need to source to fix this problem? Thanks guys.

The changeover was in 96. If you pulled seats out of an anniversary edition, then it would not have been a 95. You can tell the year of the seats by the way the handle of the slide release is that moves the seat forward or back. On the 94-95 seats, the release lever is only on one side of the seat. On the 96+ seats, this lever goes all the way across. I posted some pictures before somewhere showing the differences, but I'm not sure where lol.
