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.

BenJ 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.

Have you got the trims to match?yeah iam really hoping the yellow goes with the purple, iv got 1 front trim and 1 back trim (which wont be much use to me) but ill keep an eye open on ehay and the local trader for a front drivers trim and a yellow insert. As for the back trims iam gonna use 2 fairmont trims (ones with electric windows) and retrim them to match and add a yellow insert to blend in. Hopefully itll look alright, thanks XR-lane

I think the yellow will go well, hope its not too hard finding the rest of the trims. If you get the e series trims trimed with the BA seat trim it should look good mate.

 Question... the way that the seat sits at the front and with the need for suck a tall "washer" at the back of the it... is it now leaning forward or is it my imagination?

At the moment with no back bolts or spacer the seat sits perfectly, shouldnt be a prob when all bolted down.

From this point I was starting to deduce that it could be very easy to get the B series into the EF / EL.Maybe I jumped the gun?... |

Not having done the EF/EL into boxcar myself, but having a few mates that have done, they say they had to cut and shut the rail feet to get it to fit.
