    Seats

    Hi All,
    I need some front seats (that I am happy to re-upholster myself).
    I have a 61 Series II Ute.
    Do seats from a Series III fit in a Series II - or are modifications required?
    I know that I can purchase new seats ($600 exmoor on ebay) - but I was hoping to tidy-up some old seats myself.
    Thanks (as always) for your help.
    Regards,
    Grey_Ghost

    Exmoor direct were under $400, I thought.

    Series 3 seats will fit, but the retaining method is a little different. S2 has pins in the backs, whereas s3 has bolts, from memory.

    Zulu Delta's partner sewed replacement vinyl for their gun buggy with excellent results.

    Darkside is sort of correct, the adjustable seats have the back bolted in place on the frame but all the other SIII seat backs use pins and split pins.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Seats are interchangeable from Series 2 to early 110 production. Changes were in upholstery materials, styles and colours. From Series 2a an adjustable drivers seat became optional on 109s, and from late Series 3 optional high back seats were available. But you can interchange all of them, and the seats from 90/110/Defender are also a bolt-in replacement.

    My 2a is currently fitted with high back seats from a 1981 Series 3, but retaining the adjustable driver's seat. I got several of the cushions reupholstered to match the originals.
