ive heard of it being done, but it was only hearsay

i measured my dads seats (he has an 89), and they were far too wide

I've heard both on this and the old board:

"I've tried it and it can't be done."

"I have them in my car now."


I haven't tried it myself yet, but I'd like to hear how it turns out for you.

I Already fitted 93 seats in a 87 Cougar once....

They are not perfect fit but they will....  The back fixation is the same width and lengt (Same bolt patern) BUT The floor is different at this point. The front screw hole are at the right place but there is and angle on both front 93 seat fixation while the fox only have an angle on the console side.

Also dont forget that the seats control are on the the seats..... not the console.... (As you can notice on the link you gave....)

Sorry for the bad drawing... :D
This represent the side view of the seats lower frame the screw on flooor

So SLY did you just bend the 93 seat bracket to get it to fit?

No i didnt... I used Longer screw and had to adjust the hole with a file because of the angle...

It's not a piece of cake, but easier than it look like...

Dont forget also to remove the Seat belt clip and replace it with your Actual one.... Or it wont work.
You'll turn mad if you finish installing em and realised that... (Dont ask how i know...)  :giggle:

Wouldn't it be easer to unbolt the seat from the track and put the MN-12 seat on the Fox track? Just curious...
