How much work ? AU seats into ED

[samsy351]

Hi all ... can someone tell me How much modification to fit AU seats into an ED ?
Ive heard that you may even be able to just unbolt all the foam padding from both seat frames and swap them over for an easier conversion , is this true??
any ideas?
Cheers.

Just swap the 'feet' of the seat rails over.

Why. and then no not really at all. ba seats will go straight in with a spacer on the inside rear leg. au seats are in my opinion th worst ford seat and rail setup ever. And theres no swapping the feet over, have a look at the two seat design they're completely different and they will sit way way to low.

Just considered AU seats cause I could get some cheap thats all. Its just for the "run-a-round" ...the current seats in it are *****.
Thanks for the info .

Actually, its is just a case of swapping the feat over. Its been done before...even threads on it on fordmods.

Its the same way people put EF-EL seats into the EA-ED's (unless you want to weld the floor hump in)


So, again, to put Au seats in, use the feat from your ED seats, the are rivited/welded from factory.

IF you have a good welder (not a gassless mig lol) weld the ED feet onto the AU rails.

Ute seats have a quick release for them to flip foward, other then that they are the same.

Keep in mind, if they are electronic, you'll need to wire them up.

Is there any difference in putting ba seats into an xh? Not sure what the floor pans like?
