Seat interchangeability query

Post by 67-2door »

Hi.
The front seats in my 1966 2 door don't have any forwards/backwards adjustment so I guess they're both passenger seats.
I've bought a pair of seats which I think are series 2 seats. They have a different pattern on the vinyl, both seats have forwards/backwards adjusters and they have a solid one piece base instead of the webbing.
Is it possible to swap the series 2 seat frames with mine so mine have adjustment, or can I put my covers onto the series 2 seats so they match.
Or if the bits cant be swapped should I just re-colour the series 2 seats to match my interior?
Thanks.
Neil.

The seats are different shapes so parts would not be interchangeable. The adjusters were fitted to drivers side only, in the centre on Series MM/II seats and offset on later seats (I think). Either seat will fit the floor mountings and the Series II seat is probably more comfortable
