I (foolishly) replaced the torn up gray leather seats in my 95 SC with FloFit sport seats, then sold the old SC ones on eBay. The FloFits's aren't aging well- they are not very comfortable and have not "broken in" evan after a couple of years now. I guess they are more racing seats than luxury seats. Also they seem a bit rickety, with lots of side to side play when I shake the seat back. I've taken them out and tightened all the fasteners I can find, but still shakes. Now I wish I had spent the money and taken the chance of having the originals re-covered. Live and learn...
Bottom line, I want to go back to Thunderbird seats. SC preferred, but I would consider LX seats.
My question is, which year front seats will bolt right into a 95 without having to make adapters, swap out tracks and all that. I can sort out the wiring if that is not the same, but I don't want to mess around with adapting the mechanical mounting of the seats.
both 94 and 95 will work, of course, and LX seats from 94 to 96 will work, maybe 97 LX?
I have read that the 89-92 SC seats are the most comfortable, and would really like to go that way, but I understand that the seat belt system is different, so I am wondering if the mounting pattern is also different, and if there would be issues with using the 95's the seat belts. If it's just a matter of drilling and tapping a single hole in the seat frame for the seat belt I can deal with that, but I really don't want to get much more mechanical that that.
Thanks for your input-
