Some folks have used Sebring convertible seats. The wiring can be interesting, but they have shoulder belts built in. |

Interesting, as I did see one Sebring convertible in the junkyard. They look safe, but complicated. Any other ideas or backups, if these don't work out or get taken? Thanks, Greg |

When i got my 60 Valiant it had 1 janky front seat from a honda or something. I happened across a junkyard (oddly enough I was on my way to go look at a seat from a want ad), I stopped by the yard, the guy had a 64 dart GT with bucket seats. "SOLD" I said. Only thing is I had to drill new holes since early valiants only had bench seats, but they worked out great/look good. |

Sebring seats are not that difficult to install, but make sure you get the seat module located inside the center console and the wiring between the seats and the module. The module contains the mercury switch and circuitry that locks and unlocks the shoulder belts. Any other ideas or backups, if these don't work out or get taken? Thanks, Greg I'm told that later seats have different circuits that might have to be worked around, but the '97 seats I used were simple to wire. Adapter brackets can be made out of 2" angle iron and a couple of flat pieces of metal. |

I parted out a Dodge Neon a few months ago. I kept the buckets for use in my Duster. (I also have a Neon DD) The Neon seat tracks don't line up perfect, but can be modified to work if you can cut and weld. If you look at Neons though, be sure it is a 2 door car, the seats in the 4 doors don't fold back for rear seat access. BTW, they only made 2 door Neons from 95-99 but they are easy enough to find in the yards right now. Happy hunting. |
