2006 PT Cruiser seats in a 510

[Guest 510kamikazifreak]

Are those 40 year old 510 seats are bagged :blink: :lol:

 

Get a set of PT Cruiser seats from a local recycling yard

Remove the hardware from the seat bases leaving rales attached to seats

 

This is the hardware removed

 

 

On the 510 there are the brackets that bolt to the floor of the 510, the out board(closest to the door on both sides) Needs to be moved inward,Undo the nuts that hold the brackets to the floor, move the outer fixed bolt on the bracket, to the inboard hole ,drill a new inboard hole(floor) and on the front cross brace drill a new hole.

set seats on brackets lightly tighten bolts(supplied by PT Cruiser) then slide seats foreward at the rear the PT seats have 2 fixed nuts on the sliders(ignore) just forward of those are 2 dimples,Drill new holes in the center of those 2 dimples and the rear of the bracket will bolt to the slider (using the 510 seat holes on the brackets)Use supplied PT bolts and the 510 washers etc)

 

It took less that 2hrs start to finish

no hardware to purchase,No welding,Cutting.

Just a simple clean install.

These seats are the same width as the 510 seats(alot of seats look goofy as they are to wide etc)They also are not putting your head through the headliner(too tall)

The bas seat height is 1/4 to 1/2 inch taller than a stock seat(from slider to top of the base)

 

Nice firm seats,For little money..

 

They have inboard armrests too :cool:

The pic of the seats is dark(battery crapped in the camera)

 

Tools needed

Is this car the one your taking to Canby??

My brother just cant be sold on the mr2 seat retro fit but was warm to this because he could do it at his apt. And if he could get a look and a sit, maybe this would be better being ALOT newer seats.

Oh and my brother is almost retirement age old bald dude so it`s not like a grease monkey kid hopping into your vehicle..

 

and one of these for the writeup

No problem on your brother trying them out etc, I was quite shocked when i did the install as to how easy the install was. :cool:
