Rich 71 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 What do i need to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I’m starting with the bucket seats, I found a leather pair from a 2014 Cadillac CTS just need to figure out how to wire them. In the Caddy the front seat rails go into a socket type of arrangement, I plan on using a square ’u-bolt’ and the stock post and bolt set up in the rear. The front/back placement will take a little trial and success and it will depend on the console placement as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 A lot to do it like original. But we’re going need a little more information on what your plans are. I went from bench seat, column shift and idiot lights to buckets, console with floor shifter, gauge package and tilt steering. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott S. Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 As Dennis said, which way are you planning to go ? If you're going original, and adding the console, etc, it's quite a few steps. But if "modified" is your choice, just about anything can be made to work. Just remember..... Test fitting a couple times before making any modifications is ALWAYS the best way. I read an article a few years ago that Acura seats were an easy fit if you go with the factory console and are looking for a comfortable bucket. Welcome to the circus. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtret Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Bucket seat brackets, console bracket ( both of which need to be welded to the floor. Transmission shift linkage bracket( goes on transmission) to hook up cable and lock rod. Correct gauge harness ( or repin procedure for existing harness). Time, money and beer. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
