FOX Seat Swap by Darryl Lang
|
What you need:
 | 3/8" Socket |
| 1/2" deep socket |
| 10mm socket |
| 6" long 3/8" drive extension |
| 3/8" ratchet |
| 2X '79-'93 Mustang, Thunderbird, Cougar, Fairmont Seats (FOX Body) |
| 2X '74-'78 Mustang II seats |
To do the swap:
- I don't remember the socket sizes necessary to remove the FOX seats, but
get yourself a pair of seats from a FOX body car.
- Remove the seat rails from the FOX seats using the 10mm socket on the 4
retaining bolts.
Remove the stock Mustang II seats using a 1/2" deep socket to remove
the 4 retaining nuts under the car.
Remove the seat rails from the Mustang II seats using the 3/8" socket
for the 4 retaining bolts.
Clean and lubricate the Mustang II seat rails while they're easy to work
on.
Attach the Mustang II seat rails to the FOX seats using the original 10mm
bolts.
**It may be necessary to drill a starting hole for one or more bolts.
The soft plug will be there, but may not have a hole yet.
Put the new seats back in the Mustang II and bolt the seats back in.
The only features of the FOX seat that will remain are:
| adjustable side wings. |
| adjustable leg supports. |
| adjustable lumbar (electric in some). |
| tilt back as well as forward. |
