Title: bucket seat options Post by: black57 on May 25, 2012, 09:30:25 PM Guys,
I'm thinking of possibly going with buckets. I'll retrim whatever I get so I'm not worried about material or condition. Any suggestions on a relatively easy fit that looks the part? Don't want to go early holden as that's all getting very costly these days. Pinky. Title: Re: bucket seat options Post by: FCRB26 on May 25, 2012, 09:35:34 PM re trim commodore without head rests?
Try outside the square VW, morris,chrysler if you want it to suit period wise. Pete Title: Re: bucket seat options Post by: FCV08 on May 25, 2012, 10:25:12 PM Pinky
I am running KB Laser Bucket with the headrests removed. Cheers Craig D Title: Re: bucket seat options Post by: VAN059 on May 26, 2012, 07:48:58 PM Pinky,
I've sourced some '65 Mercedes 250SE buckets which are low back, fully adjustable & have nice chrome mechs on the side. They look a treat & I got mine of eBay for under $100 the pair, he also threw in the centre console (not much chop) & seat belts. Might be worth a look.

they crushed a door 2 merc next door to work nice looking car but no one wanted it as the clear was coming off the wood grain dash 80 model i suppose.

I used Mitsubishi Colt in my FB very easy to fit and you can have the head rest removed before trimming if you wish I am going to have mine removable because i don't know about the new R.T.A. laws concerning this point BILLY Title: Re: bucket seat options Post by: black57 on May 30, 2012, 06:01:46 PM I'd need to confirm, but from what I gather, it's a similar rule to the seatbelt issue. If it didn't have headrests, it doesn't need to have headrests.

ol skool ;D it's just a thought ??? FE 4 ME Title: Re: bucket seat options Post by: black57 on June 01, 2012, 06:38:56 PM Yeah, the missus likes to sit in the middle with my arm around her. Once I mastered stearing, indicating AND change gears all with the right hand it's a pretty cool look...but I'm getting to old for that romantic crap.....need some space hahaha.
I guess if the impala shifter clears the bench once I fit it, the bench might stay. Pinky. |
