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.
From memory my mate fitted 90 model magna rear and base was bloody close?

Could be another expensive option i think one guy in our club used the late model 2 door monaro and wsas a great fit.

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.
It was either my mates FC or a mates HR cant be sure there has been a lot of stubbies between now and then,, ;D

yep ;)
a bloke i work with fitted torana front and rear in his car,
he said they need some mods but didn't need re trimming after mods, unless you wanted it done
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

Tried the Magna seat last night, way too big? Your mate must have had a HR I think as HRs are much wider, bugger, back to the wrecking yard to find something else :'(
Brought a Daewoo Cielo 2 dr back seat home tonight, appears to be a good enough fit :-* It will have to do so I can retrim the original seats.
