Title: Identify bucket seats
Post by: Longman on March 25, 2016, 03:28:41 PM
Hi,

Just wondering if anyone can identify these bucket seats. They came out of my FC sedan, but I'm going back to a bench seat. Passenger one is in great condition, drivers has splits. I've looked on Google, but couldn't find anything quite right.

I would of said VW going off that slide on the front but the fat bit on the back changes that.

I tend to agree the slide knob is definitely early Volkswagen but there have been lots of modifications to them . Haydn

They are early Renault seats. Have fitted a few pairs to FC's in the past and have a pair for my sons FC Wagon project. They are comfortable and suit the style of early Holdens in my opinion.

   So when modifying seats and putting in buckets  ,  is there is no regulation on having headrests or not .
   does the seat not  have to be a certain height to pass engineering .
   l thought because of whiplash in the event of a crash the headrest or height of the seat was there to  help prevent this
