Thanks for all the comments guys, really good to see alot of interest. Well went up to townsville this weekend to pick up my BA xr interior. I ended up picking up a back seat, 2 fronts and 2 door trims in the rapid yellow, should look good. I do have a few repairs to do to the seats due to it being out of a write off. Any ways I got slack this sarv and wanted to trial fit the passenger front seat. iv notice alot of people on here asking if BA/F seats will fit e-series, heres what you gotta do:

BA/F FRONT SEATS IN A E-SERIES:

Yes the fronts will fit with minor work, heres what iv figured out in 5 minutes of fitting the seat,
Put the seat in the car as shown:
Image

The front holes line up perfectly as shown, no mods needed:
Image


The back left bolt hole is out by about 10-20mm, Iam thinking of tapping the leg back with a hammer a bit and die grinding it out a few mil to meet:
Image


And as for the back right foot it seems to look like itll line up no prob however it appears to sit about 2 finger (inch or so) high. Iam thinking of simple getting a peice of strong grade cylinder piping and using it as a washer and use a longer thread bolt OR a strong metal block of some sort. Ill have a play around with it later and let you's know how i go:
Image


You can try unbolting the old e-series running seat rails and make them fit the B series seats but either way youll be up for a bit of custumising. Its your choice, but i figured making the seat fit the car would be alot eazier.
Heres a finish shot:

looks like a decent walled cylinderacal bar would be fine as a spacer and a high tensile bolt.

If the rears are anything like the AU's in mine... they are fiddly but doable also.. have to remove the bar that holds the E series seats in (the don't work with the AU bollards) and weld in the square u bold the AU uses...

oh and the AU seats have a plastic clip drilled and fitted into the floor that the seat base clips into... the E's don't have that so you have to drill and fit some.

nothing major..

Wow, that does look much simpler than even the EF/EL seats into a Boxcar.

Hmmmm, time to hit Ebay!!!!

Looks good smithy. Should be a nice contrast with the yellow trim and purple paint.

With colours go Iv been trying to find a set of purple trimed seats for months and have had no luck, and Iv come across a charcole and silver colour but I was stuffed around with that one (wont get into it) then i came across a cheap set from townsivll and couldnt resist the opertunity. I hope the yellow goes with the purple if not ill keep an eye open for a different coloured seat covers as you can swap the covers over on any ba/f seat. Ill have a crack at fitting the back seat shortly and let yous all know.

i to wasnt sure about the fitment of b series seats in a box car either benj, with stacks of research i didnt find any info on a step by step so i thaught id have a crack at it and surprisingly it looks pretty simple. I hope it gives the confidenece to other moders out there to upgrade there seats eazily. And like you said ebay is a great place to find them, i picked my front ,backs and 2 trims up for a cheap $150, its eazy to find a bargain on ebay, good luck.

Yeah ill try and get a longer bolt same thread for the back right bolt some time this week, youll still need to use a strong block of some sort underneath, as long as everything is tight and stable it shouldnt be a prob, however if i find a better and eazier way ill be sure to let yous know. cheers mitch.
