Default Fairlane seats into Falcon

Hey guys,

Has anyone fitted the rear seats from a Fairlane into a Falcon? I thought that it is only the side bolsters that don't fit, but when I bolted it up the back piece, the latch to lock it is about a centimetre too high. Would an auto upholsterer be able to fit the rear seat or is there a simple way of fixing the issue?

Regards

I've got an idea to try after talking to xrford (the one with the mint wagon), I'll give it a crack and take pictures if it works.

Yeah I don't think they have the same mounting points at all to either sedans or Fairlanes, that's why I asked you afterwards as well. I don't know whether I'd be able to mod the latch, which is why I'm tempted to make new holes on the frame piece to let it lock in on the latch properly.
