I cant tell you that all of these just bolted in, but I would bet they do with alittle bit of work.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I swapped tbird sports seats into my mustang.  Just unbolted the seat tracks and put mustang tracks on the tbird seats.

I dont see why the swap wouldnt work the other way??

my car had buckets stock....

the recaros are factory mustang seats,no combo would make them work...

same with the 93 seats and the 86 seats...they were inches off,i would have had to make an extend adapter to bolt them to my power seat tracks...and even then...they sat way to high.

someone show me pics of mustang seats in a tbird/cougar.


What did I say the first time around about the Recaros?  NO RECARO WILL BOLT UP W/O ADAPTERS....PERIOD.  Even in a Mustang adapter rails were used to get then to mate to the stock tracks. You have those adapters, they will bolt to the stock Ford seat rails.

On the Mustang seats, you were obviously loking at something crosseyed.  I have installed Mustang seats in all of my Tbirds/Cougars at some point in time with power or manual tracks with NO mods at all.

Here's the seats outta mine, and I had to tap the 2 holes on the back of each seat's base to bolt on the Thunderbird brackets.
These came out of the ASC/McLaren Capri I had...

I guess it just depends on if your back holes are threaded.

uhm.... ok then genius your not to far away from me,hows this sound.

you can take the FACTORY leather/tweed seats out of my 90s hatch lx,and try to bolt them up to the factory powerseat track in my 88 cougar.

ill pay for your gas...and give you 500 bucks if you can make it work with no cutting/fabbing,just a bolt on and go deal..funnier thing is,your coming into this conversation just asuming im like a newb at building vehicles...or that i am young.

the powerseat track in my cougar has no cut/weld marks...im fairly certain it has NOT been modified at all.

the front bolts will line up,the rear bolts however...are off by about an inch and a half

:popcorn:  This ought to get interesting...

It may be that the Mustang seats need holes drilled and tapped for the Cougar/T-Bird seat track. That's not very common but, depending on the model year of the Mustang, it can theoretically happen. Usually Mustang seat frames have both sets of holes already drilled in them.
