Title: Ute/Van Bucket Seats Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on August 16, 2006, 11:46:54 PM I am trimming some seats for a friend with a PV, the problem is that they are nasty, shapeless and busted EA Falc seats.
She has a pair of later model (not sure which) commondore buckets but she says they don't fit well. 1. Should the commondore ones fit? and has anyone used them. 2. Is there a better "cost-effective" solution? Title: Re: Ute/Van Bucket Seats Post by: Addo on August 17, 2006, 06:21:04 AM Not sure about the commodore seats but I've got a an EF falcon bench seat in my sedan, the width is great, you can take the headrests out and fold down the centre armrest and it looks somewhat like low back buckets from days of old from outside when your cruisin.
I've got legs like a spider and the seats right back so I don't have a problem with the floor shift fowling the seat. I've picked up another out of an EB and it seems to be the same style and dimensions. I'm going to have it retrimed and fit it to my next project. Just a thought. Addo.

Ive been told they fit well in my chev which is a lot larger and I hadnt considered one for any of the old Holdens..

I'm sure I've got good clearance, I was surprised when I trial fitted it how well it sat. If I get a chance over next day or so I'll take some pics of how it looks and post them. It beats the hell out of what I was sitting on before! Title: Re: Ute/Van Bucket Seats Post by: Addo on August 17, 2006, 10:22:07 AM Just went and had a good look. The EF seat has about 1 inch clearance from the pillar both sides and 2&1/2-3 inches from the door itself. the line of the seat is spot on for the shape of the sill. (Thats 25mm and 65-75mm for any new age Guys and Gals out there)
