Hello All,

A friend of mine just put a set of 97 Mustang seats in his 65 coupe. He lives a bit of a distance from me and I haven't seen them yet. He told me they bolted right in but they are a bit too close to the steering wheel compared to the stock seats. He'd like to move them back a bit.

Has anyone ever come across this problem and figured an easy way to move them back a bit?

Thanks!
Scott

Hello,

We have put the BMW seats in out 1965 Mustang.

You get some flat metal and bolt the new seats to this, then you can put the
seats about anywhere you wish.
In the case of Mustang seats you may need saw off some bolt length to fit on
the new rail, or spacers.

Brian
