What kind of money are we talking about on a full re-do?
Foam and upholstery?
Using good frames that is.

If you are talking the high back seats, they are close but not the same. If
you are talking just bolting them in...yes they work. If you are planning
to have them rebuilt with foams and upholstery by an upholstery shop, then
you are still probably OK. If you plan to buy the seat foam kits, straps
and/or diaphragms, and the upholstery kit from one of the major suppliers,
then you will have problems. If it helps, I think I have some JPEGs of some
of the differences that I found when I bought the correct materials for the
incorrect seat frames. Let me know if you would like them sent.
Cheers
Keith
