I am looking to fit bucket seats and matching rear seats to my FE Sedan, the buckets are no problem but I really need a rear seat to fit nicely first. Does anyone know what car and model rear seats to try? I have tried VN but they are too wide and low. I don't want Early Holden as they are hard and expensive to get.

Anything other than FE/FC will need modifying and re-trimming.
If you are prepared to modify something, get a set of FE/FC seats anyway, gut them of the their springs etc and then cut down some modern foams to fit the frames and then trim them up.

Magna sound cheap and easy to get, I have FC front and rear in Black and Red that I want to keep or retrim to FE Cream and Red at a latter stage. The back of the FE rear seat is very high ? Most cars are a lot lower.

I currently have a old EK Hottie Sedan with what appears to be an early Monaro interior, front buckets with the backrest that only flips forward, and rear seat and console I haven't had a good look at the rear seat yet to see if it's been cut down or had the covers re fitted over the original frames   Gary |
