Just wondering how hard it is to fit seats from a LWB ford into a SWB model? Im looking at buying a LTD interior to go in my soon to be brought monty.

Pretty sure front go in fine, but you need to do a bit of modding to get the rears in

so going from that I can just remove the bracket off my old seats and it bolts straight onto the new ones?

its actually just time consuming. i put the fairlane seats in mine. You will need to recover or use your old seat bolsters as the fairlane ones are too long. also too make the rear top part of the seat (with the headrests) fit you need to swap over the actual seats onto a fairmont or normal falcon steel seat base platform.

ill tell you what i done, mind you i had all the LTD seats retrimmed at the same time.
Fronts fit in fine, what i did with the back was: a) yes you do need to use your existing side bolsters so you will have to get them redone to match the LTD trim b) the base of the back seat fits fine c) I took the cushions off the back of the LTD metal base and had the upholsterer put the cushions onto my fairmont metal base and that took care of it instead of mucking around with the brackets because you will have to take off the leather either way. so just take everything off your existing back and put the LTD cushion and trim onto that thats the easiet way if you dont want to be mucking around with that, when you take the side bolsters to get retrimmed to match the LTD seat ask them to swap it over

You can just add another holes on each bracket just down from the original one. Then use a large washer on the lower bolt to secure it. The Pins that come through the bolster will need adusting or modifying though. Not much easier than swapping the skins over though.

rather than getting rear seat bolsters retrimmed to suit the ltd stuff just use the fairmont ghia cappa bolsters, thats what i put in mine
