intalling 635csi rear seats in 74tii

[johnpaul]

i have removed my rear tii seats, now i am trying to get the 635csi seats in but they dont seem to fit very well. do i need to do any fabricating to get them to fit. or do they just not fit in my perticular 1974 2002tii

You need to cut out the fiberglass rib on the back of the seat that hits the wheel well and switch the seat belt retractor and buckel end so the retrator is on the drive shaft tunnel side and the buckel is on the outside.

about how much of the fiberglass in the back do i need to cut out. some rough estimate would help or a picture. and if i cut this out wouldn't it make it really uncomfortable to sit in for your back?

[Marty]

If you cut the rib out flush with the seat back should get you to the point where the seat is sitting back far enough to fit. It will only leave a 2" wide strip off the back and you won't feel that thru the padding. But go slow and only remove as much as needed to get a fit and wear a dust mask while cutting as it makes a lot of dust.

Light a match, vinyl melts, leather does not. do it on the back or underneath. Beaner7102

Hey JohnPaul,

 

   Since the title of your post is “Installing 635CSI seat in a 74Tii” can you provide some photo’s of the actual “INSTALATION”? I’m in the process of trying to install these very same seats but don’t have clue about how to SECURELY place these seats.  If I can return the favor I’ll be more than happy to do that, thanks ahead.
