Seat help!

[dogga1612]

Hey guys.
Everywhere I look, people are saying that "prelude seats fit in easy" but nowhere does it give details or even a photo of how people mounted them in. Now, I have a few ideas that I could go with but I just want to see how other blokes did it. Any screw ups, advice, etc.
Thanks in advance.

Trying to fit them in a GQ*

I don't recall anyone on here ever mentioning fitting prelude seats in a patrol. So finding info or help maybe a bit of an issue.

All the seat conversions on here seem to be about commonhore seats.

So have you got the prelude seats and from what model/year?

To tap, or not to tap: Well it's obviously tap because this is the signature hey!!!!!! Duh

[dogga1612]

Really? Ive seen a bunch of people on a few different pages saying that they have done the swap, but nobody gives any details.
Not sure what year mate. I have them.
The inner rail (closest to centre console) fits almost perfectly. The outer rail, not so much. I'm trying to figure a way of overcoming the height difference. The troll seats have the spacer plate, but that doesn't really cross over to the prelude sets that well.

You could just re-upholster your original seat, like I have through Alphaline in Melbourne. 2532725328

Wouldn't you try to source buckets from a nissan first , Pulsar etc.
2ndly I wouldn't have side bolsters too high {rally style} as you'll
never get in or out, plus they are a litteral pain in the butt

@ MEGO does anyone sell pre sewn skins for patrol seats.
I've found them in the states for my B,I , L 's Corvette

@ Dogga I lifted my drivers seat 40mm makes a big difference over the bonnet
I have Strato 3000 with lumbar pump driver seat. Use small piece of cut rubber
to isolate or you'll feel every bump , trust me. 16 back Ops
puts me in the expert field for whats comfy and whats not

Very nice mate! Wish I had the dollars for that.
I picked these seats up cheap as chips and loved them as soon as I sat my barge arse down in them. I figured that where there is a will, there is always a way. Shouldn't be too difficult with a bit of drilling and creative fabrication.

Where you located ????

Definitely will mate. I'm taking photos left, right and centre with everything I so on this baby. Anything you do on a patrol has already been done before. The hardest part is finding people willing to share the wisdom.

Where you located ????

Located in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

They're unbelievably comfortable. I still haven't made any progress on it as I'm a bit of a lazy bugger. I really don't see it being too tough though mate. Might even consider just swapping the rails over entirely.
