Bucket seat height 62-63 Comet

Post by Lip Ripper »

Can someone with factory buckets give me your floor to top of front seat cushion measurement and with the seat forward; top of seat cushion to bottom of steering wheel? The falcon has Mustang seat's that are way too low. I have seen aftermarket foam and vinyl that has modern bolstering to fit the 65 frames. I'm trying to figure out how tall the riser's will need to be. They may be so tall that it won't look right.

Fab' risers lifting the seats about 1 1/2" and the seats will be about the right heigth. Already tried that with 68 mustang seats.

I'm not using stock foam so I'd like to know where the round body seat's sit from the factory if anybody has them.

If the upholstery fits correctly then the non stock foam is probably close to the same. Someone with your specific seats may have the measurements you need. You can somewhat guess at the heigth by how much room you have between you and the steering wheel when sitting there.
