Ba-AU Seats

[Mont5.0]

Is it possible to put BA into AU front seats without to many drama's? Anybody done this?

i was wondering in the same, also if you can put back seats in aswell

I've tried it.
Front is easy, rear is not possible due to the difference in design.

BUT i tried it in my fairlane. If the fairlane rear seat is exactly the same shape as falcon based models then no you won't fit a BA seat in.

Fairlane rear seat is wider

This can be done but you need to have the rails changed so the BA seat is on AU rails

But is that a direct bolt over or a welder job?

So is it possible to swap the rails straight over between seats

Im not 100% but Ive heard of guys getting BA seats 'made" onto AU rails - got no idea how its done or what has to be changed. If you mess with the factory seat rails though you do require engineering certificate which is why its easier to modify the seats instead of the rails.

its a weld job for the ba seats, not an impossible task if your not a bad welder, mate did it in his au but the welds were shockin,lol

Do u think u could get photo's on the mods to the rails so we could have a look at how they need to be modified

so the fronts are easy? its only the rear thats hard?

Bomber did BA XR seats in his AU XR6. As has already been said, it required welding.

Yeah the wreckers out at Macarthur Parts Plus in NSW said no swap, nothing lines up re bolts etc.
I'd be worried insurance if you had BA's welded onto AU rails.

you only need an engineers certificate to say its done properly which then makes it fine for insurance purposes.

and the cert is only required IF you modify or swap out the standard rails

if your new seat bolts onto the old rails then your sweet to go
