Anyone done this mod? Found a nice set on CL $50.00 each. They are adjustable with the dial Do-Dad on the side. They also have adjustable head rests & a folding arm rests built in.The center console looks sweet also.......

I think the seatback is a direct bolt-on to a Festy seatbase. As far as the seatbase adustability, you would need that seat frame, and would have to fabricate custom mounts to fit it into a Festy. Some people here can do that of course.....what you could do is pull the seat cushion and fabric; it would probably mount to the Festy seatbase as is. You'd just lose the adjustment for seat angle.
I did try the console from an '01 (IIRC) Rio, thinking it would be a good fit. Had to trim the top, and ultimately was disappointed that it didn't match up like I wanted it to.Last edited by TominMO; 01-23-2015, 03:38 PM.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

Tom,what did you mean you had to "Trim the Top" when installing the 01 Rio seat into the Festy? Like the Head Rest ?Some people like to read fiction,I prefer to read repair manuals. Weird I know-
