bucket seats for 40 series

Post by duke peterson »

I am look at replacing the original seat in my HJ47 with something more comfortable. Just wondering what seats people have used? Can I wack pretty much anything in or will it need to be from a more upright sitting position 4x4 type vehicle? Are some seats going to be more easy to modyfy than others? What is the go with getting them inspected (in vic) will I need some sort of engeniers certificate? Is this going to be a problem with my dodgy home modification?

I used XF Falcon seats in my 40. Angle frame used original bolt holes on the seats and the body.

Yes you need it plated.

See if I've got pics....

seats

Post by mellows40 »

G`day guys,

I was lucky and found a pair of Mazda 626 seats in pefect condition, and with a change in the seat mounts.. ie, welded a plate in where the seat conects to. that means I can put any seat i want in with a drill and high tensile bolts. the hardest thing was to get the alignment right. other then that the whole job took 4 hours. total cost.... $42.00..... (beer) Mmmmmmmm :roll:
Mine: A Tough little fj40
and a 105 series diesel
Hers: TJ Jeep Wrangler... Stock
Cheers Eric
