    Anything can be made to fit but whether they'll be any good for sitting on is doubtful if you value your spine or butt!

    Exactly this.

    I have a 4 link in my Granada...and certainly prior to fitting the cage, people could sit in the back. Although they would basically be sitting on top of the boxing for the upper bars. So not exactly comfortable lol although I did put sponge foam there to try offer some comfort.

    Cage is in now, so nobody can get in back anyway.

    Yes - my Road Rally car has rear seats fitted over 4 link boxes as having a rear seat is part of the rules - many others will be the same
    The seat back is complete (wedged between the rear stays of the cage) but the seat base needs the framework and springs removed
    I wouldn't want to sit on it for any length of time though!
