Do EF/EL front seats fit into EB sedan ??

PHoeNiX_EB

Yes, im pretty sure its a straight swap.

fordfanatic

No, I don't think they do.

EF/(EL?) GLi seats are shithouse anyways, they are too hard... too high and too short in the back. They are shockers!

XRated

They do, but they don't! The left rear of the the front seat, for example, will have a large gap because the seat rails are different. You need to modify this to get them to fit correctly. The rear is a straight swap.

The easiest way to modify the front seats is to cut a piece of tube to fit (about 5 inches), then drill a new hole in the floor and use a long nut+bolt to secure it. Easy.

Can't say I agree with fordfanatic, I went on a road trip with a mate a few years back in an EL wagon, Perth to Albany to Esperance, then back up through Kalgoorlie. Can't remember the exact distance covered offhand, but it was well over 1 000 km. Those seats were some of the most comfortable I've been in. I currently have EF Fairmont seats in my EB and love them. Much better than the old EB ones!

that "trick" with the long bolt is quite dodgy. if you got pulled up by any roadworthy authorities youd get dicked. the seat mount point is a structural point in the floor and to change it you need an engineers - at least in victoria.

EF/EL seats are nice and comfy, EL seats are better then EF as they're softer.
but the EF Ghia leather seats are much better then my GLi seats

I think the EF GLi seats are fine, I have sheepskin seat covers on mine, very comfy....
