Default Replacing Stock Velour with Leather - EF

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone could help me out with any instructions, diagrams etc on how i would go about putting the charcoal leather seats i purchased today in my '96 EF Falcon. Any different tools i need? Modifications? Any help would be much appreciated. ( i haven't taken the stock ones out yet)

Cheers..

what did they come out of? if they are E series they should go straight in if they are out of anything else forget it unless you are an engineer and can certify the installation.
seat mounting is an integral part of safety systems if the vehicle and retro fitting of non certified seats is taken seriously. if you just make up brackets and fit them anyhow regardless of legality be ready for a lot of drama if you are in an accident and someone is hurt
