Title: Benchseat Floorshift Post by: superfly on May 03, 2003, 11:25:12 AM Hey everyone,
I was just wondering whats the go with fitting a benchseat to an fc that has had a 4 speed manual slotted in? And also how hard is it to fit an EK steering column to an FC? cheers Matt Title: Re: Benchseat Floorshift Post by: FBvisitor on May 05, 2003, 11:25:59 AM G,day Matt,
Regarding the seat, I have seen a notch about six inches wide and a couple of inches deep made in the front which looks spot on. Perhaps a trip to the seat trimmers is in order? Cheers, Jason. Title: Re: Benchseat Floorshift Post by: Digger on May 05, 2003, 11:58:59 AM G'Day Matt.
Check the tech info area out you might find it interesting "AUSSIE 4 SPEED ADAPTER FOR A BENCH SEAT" http://www.fefcholden.org.au/techinfo/tech004.html Steve Title: Re: Benchseat Floorshift Post by: RET on May 05, 2003, 10:49:40 PM The EK column is a bolt in swap. If you take the front seat out it can make your life much easier doing this, as it gives you a lot more room to maneuvre the column out from the firewall.
If you're planning on fitting the FC wheel to the EK column, it does shorten the column by about 3-4 inches (which I suspect is what you're after), but it means there is very little clearance between the seat and the bottom edge of the wheel for your legs! cheers RET Title: Re: Benchseat Floorshift Post by: Jonno on May 06, 2003, 12:15:53 AM Hi Matt,
If you want to go with Jason's suggestion above, this is what it will end up looking like (also note EK column which, ironically, I want to take back to FE) Jon |
