FA5 seats on EP3!!!

[johnkimble]

Nice, thanks for the info. So you just drilled the FA5 brackets to accomodate the EP3 mounting locations? Are you using all of the mounting places?

Also, do you have any ridgity concerns? I'd love to see pics if you could swing em.

pretty much. i used all 4 holes to make sure that the seats aren't going anywhere. just make sure that the seat is aligned properly. so far i don't have any problems with them i thought the seats are really nice on ep3's. i would love to put more pictures. im still getting used on this. but if you can give me your email i can probably just send it to you.

I'd be interested in seeing pics as well - the wife want's to do the reverse...she wants me to find EP3 seats to put in her FA5 Si!

I own an FA5 & I can't stand these f#cking seats. So much so that I replaced the drivers seat for a Buddy Club P1 bucket. I would much rather have EP3 front seats then the FA5s.

You may be in luck because I may have a lead on some.

Cool johnkimble at gmail.com.

Whatever you share I'll post up here so everyone can see.

I'm looking for FA/FG seats now. I'm happy to hear that I will not need to do any custom fab. I don't mind drilling at all.

its ok. actually ive been looking for some ep3 seats but theyre hard to find and if there is one there asking way too much for it so i came up with the fa5 seats since its more available around here. also i havent seen anybody do this for their ep3 so im guessing this is the first. so far there some good comments.

thanks for posting them. yeah it does need some cleanup. im gonna fix it after this school semester. probably some carpet work to hide it or grind the extra parts. but lyk you said nothing too huge. easy fix.lol

i just realized that i dont have to cut anything so itl look cleaner instead i bought some oem factory covers for the rails from a fa5. sweet!!! looks a lot better now. you only need just the back since its the one that shows a lot. just a thought.....
