Title: Will a FB Holden bench seat fit into an FC sedan?
Post by: PeterFC on July 25, 2021, 03:30:28 PM
Hi Help needed
I have an FC sedan with bucket seats. Trying to purchase a FC bench seat with no success. I can get an FB seat which needs reupholstering and am wondering if it will fit into my FC?
Advice appreciated.
Cheers
Peter

Yes, an FB front seat will fit into an FC.

Advantage: the seat side trim is pressed metal, and won't break.
Styling Difference: the top of the FB seat squab is flat, whereas the top of the FC seat is slightly curved.  Hardly anybody will notice.

Thanks ardiesse.
Much appreciated for your quick reply. Thoughts on reupholstering an FB seat for my FC or hang out until I find an FC front bench. I've had my FC for 30 years I suppose another year won't hurt. I should have got onto getting a bench years ago.
Cheers
Peter

I put a reupholstered EK bench seat in my last FE and found that the seat base seemed to be taller than the original. I’m only average height about 5 foot 9, and I was more comfortable without the plastic spacers under the seat runners.
Maybe the trimmer went a bit overboard on the padding, don’t know.

Hi FireKraKa Neil thanks for your reply. I'm in Melbourne. I'm interested in purchasing an FC front bench seat. I wonder how much the freight would be? If you can contact me with an asking price and freight as well as a picture that would be awesome. Thanks Neil. Kind regards Peter
