Title: EK Metal Bench Seat Ends
Post by: Rusty_T on June 13, 2006, 03:52:12 AM
 ???

I'm after some info on the metal seat ends.First. Has anyone used them on an FE-FC front bench ? Second. Are there any mods that need to be done or do they screw straight into the same holes as the plastic ones?And Third and final (I hope) Has anyone got any photos of them fitted into an FE or FC.

Cheers Rusty

Rusty,

some minor mods only seem to be required. check here:

One other problem which needs to be addressed is that the EK surrounds do not go as high up the side as the FC ones.  This is fine if you are retriiming and the material is cut to suit, but not too good if you are just fitting the EK sides to a stock FC seat.

I've found two links so far and both aren't working - can someone point me to the thread about fitting EK seat sides. I was going to put some in my ute - couple hints in the threads I found with the links is that there is a couple of tricks to doing it.
TIA
