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 thought you must of wanted the yellow ones  , But you never know it may look pretty nice after its all together. Have you got the trims to match?

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.

so much trim..
 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.

{USERNAME} wrote: I didnt That's what I thought by looking at the BA photos into boxcar on previous page of this thread.... I was thinking --- ""hey, that's what it appears those boxcar guys are doing with the EF seats too""... My EA Wagon has EF Ghia seats, 3 bolts straight in, last one with a spacer.Thus, I was thinking that the BA seats might be a closer fit to the EF floorpan than I originally imagined... Anyways, I've now put an advert up on {DESCRIPTION} Thanks for the inspiration again Smithy...!! Rock on. |

{USERNAME} wrote: 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.. BA Back seats are very different to AU ones. Biggest issue is the fact that the BA seat cushion is a lot thinner then the AU one due to the fuel tank being under the floow and the BA having a slightly higher floor pan in the rear.
