Junkyard Seats Part Deux

ovrlnd · 06-09-2007, 08:12 PM

Hey all, today I went to the pick and pull to get some stuff. Primarily to get some cavalier seats. I pulled two really nice sets out of a 99 and a 2000 both 4 door models. when I removed them I tossed all the factory slider stuff and bracketry from the bottom of the seat leaving only the four mounting holes in the bottom of each seat. I got home and used the upholstery cleaner on them (look great) then went to bolt the sliders on only to realize the sliders were too short. I ran some bar stock and drilled the necessary holes to make it work causing an extra 10 minutes for the install. totally not a big deal, but was wondering if I should have kept the factory underside bracketry thinking I may have missed something or that the mounting for the 2 door models were shorter than the 4 door models. I was real interested in this swap as I have owned several cavaliers in the past and like the seats. the end result is freakin sweet! way better than before, the look fantastic, recline and have adjustable headrests for the price of $30 a seat.
it was like a taurus fan haven there and at the flat rate of $19 for a single electric fan how can you go wrong

Nice seats.

How much wider than stock?

I have an aftermarket console that might not fit with new seats.

I haven't measured them but they are wider at the front and between the two at the front is 9" the console was a concern for me as well as I am ordering a new one this week and wanted to make sure it fit. I will measure them and post the numbers

I measured the seats today here is what the results were:
17" at the bottom where it meets the back upright
21" at the seat bottom bolsters
19" at the very front
20" at the back side bolsters
21.75" from seat bottom to top of seat back
30.25" from seat bottom to top of fully extended headrest.
9.25" between the seats under the bottom bolsters
