whatcha think

Stopped by the local pick n pull on the way back from a doctor appointment and found these seats. Didn't have my yard toolbox with me so I guessed as to the torx size, went to Napa and bought a T50. I guessed right so 8 bolts and 70.00 bucks later and this is what I ended up with. What do you think? Land Rover front buckets, all manual and drivers side heat.

Good lookin' and probably very comfortable (depending on your body's build I suppose), but I bet they're tall enough to have you looking at the windshield wipers!;D

Then again, most other brand seats set up higher than stock EB seats do, so that's not necessarily a deal-breaker. Just that they look particularly high, so if you're over 6' or so, you might trial fit them first. Just to see where it's going to put your eyeball level.

Good luck. Perfect color and shape for a Bronco I'd say.

They actually will mount just as low as my original bronco seats. The front mount is flat and the rear will be easy to flatten out. The S 10 seats I have now sit all the way down on the adjusters too. The Rover rear seat looked like it could be adapted as a fold and tumble seat, (at least one side as it was a 60/40 split bench) .

Here's a pic of the bottom and the sliders

Good lookin pair of seats.....And you get to get them Chebby parts off. Before and after pics would be good.

I'll try, I just had a total hip replacement so I am moving a little slow right now. Anyone have any input as to how to wire up the seat heater. It's pretty small guage wire, just curious. I imagine it's just a hot and negative on a switch with an in line fuse. But input would be great.

Only a true gearhead would cruise the boneyard after hip surgery. Speedy recovery

I finally got the old ones out and got the new ones sitting in there. Haven't bolted them down yet though. They are a little wider than the old ones so I am going to ditch the 10 inch console until I can get an 8 inch one or build a custom one .

Are you going to sale the 10 " console?

 

[tatersalad]

I haven't decided yet.

Great looking seats! Which leads me to this....can I go grab almost any seat from a yard etc and bolt them in? Or is there a certain size that is required to 'just bolt in'. Thanks!

I think that just about any seat other than stock will need some sort of mod to mount them. Obviously the passenger side mounts to a pedestal. I plan on bolting a piece of square tubing straight across the driver and passenger side front mounts using the existing mounting spots and then weld a pedestal on the passenger side. I'll do the same on the rear mounts and then box it together. It will only add around an inch in height.
