Seats

What all will work for sure in out cars. I've heard:
Any Fox seat
Some escort/lynx seats
I've even heard a few people say SN95 seats.

My problem is I have 3 sets of SN95 V6 seats in grey I like at my local JY, but I don't wana get till I know they will fit. And I also found a bitchin set of probe GT seats that match the Int of teh car ( dark grey/black). What would be needed to get either the SN95 seats or the probe seats to fit, if they will fit at all. If I have to be a lab rat to prove this I will. Just alittle guidence

My Cobra seats (thanks ChuckW) bolted right up to the existing rails. Only problem I ran into was the seatbelt anchor bolts were too long and I had to shorten them.

What about Probe GT seats. Anyone got anything on those?

I was just about to post this same question, thanks 84 Fila! I was also told that Mustang seat will fit in our cars (mine's an 87), but I was looking through a Ford book the other day and it didn't show blue as an interior option on the Mustang GT? Maybe just that year? (88 I think it was). I would really like to get some new seats and am having a hell of a time finding GOOD ones. I went to three junk yards and none of them had blue and I called about 10 others and they didn't even have an 87 or 88 Tbird. I was wondering if some Mark VII or Mark VIII seats would work in our cars? Or perhaps other years? Like an 85 or a 91 (for example). Any help would be awesome!

I'll grab the probe seats next time I'm there and ry to fit them on a stang seatrack. If they fit that they should fit our cars. I'll keep everyone posted.

Not that it really helps YOU so much, but the Motorsport seats I have in mine, the rear holes that were used with my Tbird brackets were not threaded...I had to tap them to get the seats to bolt down at all "4 corners"...not a good idea to ride around with 2 bolts or so holding a seat down.

BTW..Motorsport seats + long drives = sore back and ass. Those things fit almost a little too good. I put the TC seats in for about a week, and they were a bit more comfortable, except the driver's side has the able Fox-seat-flex Syndrome...ughh. :hick:

Got a new set of Stang' manual racks for in the bird. Any idea on how much weight it will save from power seats to those. New seats should be soon as well

Won't save you an ounce of weight, because....
Stang seat tracks won't fit our cars.
