Guest WESTCORT Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 hate the seats in the back of the eski and want to change to something newer.. dsomething more solid that doesnt feel like your gona break them everytime yiou sit on them. anyone changed the rear over before? need ideas. ive got some subaru legacy rear seats but the mounting points are in unworkable places so they no good.

thminiman Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 have you thaught about making your own? take the old ones out, take them all apart, get new foam to your liking and cut to shape you like making use of the springs and brackets and shit from the origional seat, cover it with watever and stick back in, would probly take a while / need some skills and patience to do it but would be pretty mean if you did a good job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 The capri multo rear seat would brob be the easiest. I use honda civic SiR rear bucket type seats in mine but theyneed mounting properly. They just sit there at the mo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 how did you guys fit front seats into your escorts? did you get rails made up or what? I used the standard seat rails from the civic seats and then made brackets for on them. Passed a cert so is legal etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2_escort Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 i used standard eski rails and took them apart and re drilled holes 2 match the distance on the seats from the front and the back holes on the seats (if that makes any sense, hard to explain), and made up 2 plates for each seat that bolted to the rail and extended further wider and bolted to the seat. easy as and no modifying to the rails (that they can see) so would've passed a WOF as i asked the cert guy first. i used 5mm plate that was about 50mm wide. a bit overkill i know but wanted to keep the WOF guys happy.
