Default What seats will fit into AU utes ? BA etc ?

Hi Guys

Cant seem to get a answer I understand out of wreckers I ask

Will BA sedan, Or Ute seats bolt into my AU ute, Obviously seatbelt pretensioner and buckles may/will be different, That I can change

Im not overly concerned if sedan seats will bolt in, but dont flip foward ike ute seats do, Just after some tidy and comfy updates

Also while im here, The cheaper 6 cylinder cat's/downpipes on ebay, will they be ok on LPG, any experience ?

hey mate, they wont bolt straight in!
need to cut the mounting feet off, fabricate new feet and weld on.
its pretty straight forward really but takes a bit of time, to measure everything up and, cut weld, grind and repaint.

Ben, did you use the drawings I gave you to mount the seat?

no, I didn't end up using them, thanks anyway!

the way I did it was the best way I could come up with at the time. worked out pretty well and saved me from having to shave the bolt heads.

you can see the pics on the link on post #3.

passenger seat fits well. doesn't touch the door or console. or hit your head on the roof.
haven't done the driver seat yet, just need to drill the holes in the mounts and paint them.
it looks like it will sit slightly higher than the au seats, looks like bugger all though and it may just be because thery're a bulkier sportier style of seat, ill see if my knees touch the steering wheel when I test fit it up tomorrow.
