05-up seats in a fox?

[NC89GT]

Has anyone ever put 05 up seats into a fox. I have a thing for red leather and want to put red leather seats in my car against the black interior. I have yet to find a nice set of these seats.

Thanks

I think you'd sit way too high.

That is sort of what i figured. My other thought was to recover some 2000 anniversary edition silver and charcoal seats in red.. Anyone know of a place that will make custom seat covers?

I dunno, i may be totally wrong. Now that i think about it, Plated's car seemed to sit pretty low in the seat. It would be nice if you could try it out before you committed money to it.

This guy put them in his fox. There are pics in there too. Doesnt look like they sit high at all.

Those don't look too bad. I just need to locate some nice red seats.

I put the seats in the car they are talking about and you dont sit any higher than stock seat as long as you cut the high brackets down. Stolly113 is tall as hell, i think he is like 8ft tall:lol: and he fits in there just fine..

Im about to find out how well they fit. Wonder what seat tracks to use?

Ask 91 Boost He Put Them In The Car

they mount funny in the 05 cars they hook in the front and bolt in the back. I have a passanger 05 seat i popped the track off and there flat so i think you could make the fox tracks work and not have to mod the floor in your car

91 Boost what seat tracks did you use? Have any install pics?

[91boost]

No real instll pics. I cut the factory 05 seat brackets and modified them to fit the floor and welded some bolts to the bottom of the seat so you can bolt them in.. I think it would be easier if you used the fox seat tracks and made brackets to mount them to the 05 seat.

So does this mean they dont slide back and forth ?

No they slide back and forth and work just like a newer mustang...

[mad max]

So he cut them length wise , so they fit in the fox seat holes ? Just trying to get an idea on what he cut out to make them work. I think they look killer in his car and wouldnt mind having a set in mine when the money affords it.

I cut rivets off the brackets that are riveted to the seats. Welded bolts on the seat tracks, then i welded the brackets to the floor of the car, and then the bolts that i welded to the actual seat tracks go in the original holes on the brackets that i welded to the floor. You can still unbolt the seats and they slide like normal. I wish i would have taken pics but i forgot.
