in case you had illusions that they might just bolt up (I'm sure you didn't), here are track measurements for the 2 seats:
9-5: width between the centerlines of the tracks is about 16" but for the bolts (not centered in the tracks) it is 420mm. Mounting points along each track are separated by 350mm in the 9-5 (though there may be other holes one could use, or drill)...
c900: separation of the tracks (in terms of bolt centerlines anyway) is 480mm. separation between bolts along the track is 330mm. This is for a 1993 sedan, so 4 bolt, 9000 style, which I think is what you are saying you have with the passive belt setup, right?
anyway, kind of close, but not really. c900 mounting points are raised higher off the floor than the 9-5 + you might have to do something with the vent to make the 9-5 seat clear it. 9-5 floor vents are very low profile.
where the track in the c900 is wider, you might be able to get away with machining interface plates to bolt up to the c900 mounting points and 9-5 rails... that would clear the vents, but the seat might be up kinda high... the difference is easily 1-1.5"...
accuracy of these measurements is <+/-1cm (done quickly with a tape measure in a car with limited light since it's dark out + freezing cold)...
interesting project! good luck!
