Title: Rear Seat Options for Sedan ? Post by: Hobbo on April 17, 2012, 04:41:57 PM 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.

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.

Post by: Hobbo on April 17, 2012, 06:17:43 PM 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.

Post by: zulu on April 19, 2012, 11:24:14 PM 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 (http://s17.postimage.org/p4ef8d6mj/INTERIOR.jpg) ($2) (http://s16.postimage.org/dgym2d54h/FRONT_INTERIOR.jpg) ($2) Gary Title: Re: Rear Seat Options for Sedan ?

Your mate must have had a HR I think as HRs are much wider, bugger, back to the wrecking yard to find something else :'(Title: Re: Rear Seat Options for Sedan ?
