In Reply to: anybody ever fit non-cs seats in their coupe? posted by erik on May 15, 2001 at 23:37:44:
The problem lies in the large "hump" that is under the seats/seat rails. Most seats are designed to be mounted closer to the floor, meaning that the "hump" gets in the way. I had to build a new box frame to replace the structural "hump" and mount the seats on that.
Was the finished product nice? Yes.
Would I do it again? No.
There may well be some seats that have the same height profile of your coupe that would be less of a hassle to put in, but I could not find any.

I love the original black leather seats in my '73 cs, but ther're thrashed. I am thinking about having them recovered, and have noticed materials alone are somewhere near $1000. I've also noticed that later model sedan seats covered in leather with power mechanisms can be found for approximately $500. a set.
So, I'm thinking of getting a set in anticipation of having to have something to sit on while the originals are being recovered, or just fitting them for a more modern seating alternative if they are truly superior.
Anybody done this? How hard is it to modify either the original seat rails or replacement seat rails?
I've seen later coupes with power seating, -is it hard to hook up newer power seats?
Thanks.
