Title: Who's got non-stock seats?
Post by: booksix on August 24, 2006, 01:17:48 AM
I want to upgrade my 88 TC to some new, nicer power seats (controls on outside of each seat).  I'll probably stick to cloth because I don't want to mess with the back seat...

So, who's got some or who has some good ideas of what cars to grab them from?

You can get any seat pretty much and just make brackets to use them on your existing power tracks.

I've been using SN95 Mustang seats in the convertible for 5 years now. They bolt directly onto your existing seat tracks. There are external power seat controls on the front of each seat. However...see the thread here for wiring issues:

You would lose the power front/back tilt feature with the Mustang switch. Otherwise I think it can be wired in without pulling too many hairs out. I really like the SN95 seats...they're comfy, lighter, stronger, and seem durable enough. I'd obviously recommend the GT seats vs. the flatter V6 seats.
