sat in a VT the other day and instantly realised how much more comfortable it is than the VL, so was wondering if holden have made the stud patterens for the seats a standard thing or not? id only be looking at the drivers seat, and possibly the passengers
the only times im in back im not usually sitting up, nor am i concerned about how comfortable i am
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

you weld VL rails to the new seats and bolt them in!

just get VR/VS statesman/calais/caprice seats, you can bolt the VL S2 rails straight onto them and then they bolt traight in. heres some VR statesman velour seats in my old VL:

I got some Jap sporty seats - bolted VL rails on, then attached to the car - rang an engineer to get the approval, but he said that as long as I used the existing anchor points on the cars floor, no probs. He also said to be sure and use high tensile bolts, but that I did not need approval....
if you bolted say VS calais or statesman seats in with the electronic adjustment and put the VL rails on would you lose the electronics or do they work independent of the rails?
i didnt try it but if you take a look at them its pretty obvious they are different - there are 3 parts to the backrest of the rear seat in a VR/VS, and the mounts for everything are in slightly different places. best to get a VL one retrimmed to suit, or have the VR/VS one modified to suit. i dont know what it would cost or who would do it but i've heard of it being done.
Ahh I see. I just thought it would look a bit weird having a front pair of Statesman VR/VS seats and the rear VL Calais seats. Are there any known rear seats that simply slot into place?
esprit - none will just slot in.
maybe get yourself a stock vr eec rear seat, and have a play around with the frames underneath, ad the mounts.
It has been done plenty of times.

How much did those seats cost you ? Wats the differance between the vl s1 and s2 rails ?
it was a while ago i did it but i think it cost me $300 for the seats and i had them shampoed for $20 or something.
VL s1 rails are heaps different, same as VB-VK and don't unbolt from the seat like the VL S2.
im looking at doin this also, i was gonna go for vr calais leather seats.
what i wanna know now after finding out that that bolt together is, which cars from VN to VS came out with beige or tan leather interior, i only know of white and blue vr calais
whats the nicest cheers
