Hi Guys,

 

I've got a pair of RS2000 Escort Buckets, in my KE55, obviously they have rails to suit because its a direct boltin, just checking, will these rails bolt upto my KE35 without modding anything?

 

Thanks,

 

:yes:

KE35 and KE55 same thing. Both seat rails are the same from each other as far as I am concerned. KE55 seat rails are the same as KE35 seat rails.

The rails are the same from the floor mounting perspective but as I found out today the part the mounts to the seat differs.

from what i've done over the last 12 months:

 

bought ke30 2dr sedan seats, installed in a ke55 hardtop using the ke30 2dr sedan rails.

 

bought early ke70 seats, wouldn't bolt to the ke30/55 4dr sedan rails. installed into a ke20 using ke20 rails.

 

if your ke55 is a hardtop, then they will bolt straight into the ke35, as the mounts are the same.

 

if your ke55 is a sedan, then they will not bolt in directly to the ke35.

....and wouldn't that be bacause 2 door or coupe seats need to flip forward to get access to the back seat!! :laff:

No, I had early KE30 seats and late KE30 seats. The car in question is my panel van and the early seats that I got didn't come with rails. So I was hoping just to reuse the old ones. The under side of the seats are different.

dfunkt, wrong.

haha.

Just pulled them out and they bolted straight into the KE35, the backs a tiny bit harder to get into but not impossible :lolcry:
