 |
|
| Hello ford fans, I was wondering if anyone had experience with fitting electric seats from either a fairlane or BA/BF into a 2001 model AU wagon. I was wanting to find out if this mod is possible and also info about wiring the seats into the car. Any assistance would be a great help. Thanks all. |

BA seats dont fit AU,have different slider/rails.
you will have to make them fit with BA runners.
elitric seats just run of power and earth wire.Just run a power wire to seat and earth other wire. |

Just a thought but have you considered just getting au electric seats?
understandable though if your chasing the b series seats more than the lectric factor.
By the way does anyone know how hard modify a pair a of ba xr seats to fit an ef would be? |

Thanks to those who have replied, is it possible that the AU slider/rails will fit the BA/BF seat or they can be separated and the rails from one used with the sliders from another?
AU electrics are fine but my current seat back has a slant to one side (auto car, leaning on centre console while driving = slanted back) and I think this will be the same issue with AU electric seats.
I think that if you can get the runners to fit the seat base, you might be able to get different model seats into different cars. I guess you could always weld the slider/rails from your current seats onto your new seats, a professional modification as I wouldn't want the seat to come loose when the airbag fires. Would be like an ejector seat but backwards.
Any comments are greatly appreciated. |

From what ive heard,that BA seats in AU line up to nothing.
Someone told me that, what someone done was weld the BA rail to the floor of AU......
What I would do is,maybe put BA seat in AU than add still plate/cut to size so that seat seats even in the AU.
When it seats even and looks tidy,drill hole and bolt them in........
thats just my thoughts :-p or just weld them in i guess.
Depending how much you can get a set of BA XR seats,maybe be easier to get AU seats retrimmed or get leather seats from a ghia
or just go to auto barn and get sum race seats make them fit:-p |
