Hi everyone, I brought a set of Celica seats from a Japanese ST205 on ebay from wrecker about 1 1/2 ago. I was hoping to fit them to my Australian delivered ST185. Now after reading threads here and other forums on the internet Alltracs/GT4s should be interchangeable between models ST165, ST185, and ST205.
Anyway I finally went around to swap out my original seats today only to find that the seat rails from the supposed Jap model ST205 are completely different. The ST205 rails mount holes are about 40mm (1 1/2 inch) widers in the front and about 90mm (3 1/2 inch) wider in the rear because the outer rail is offset. So basically none of the bolt holes will line up with bolt holes, can't even get one in. Anybody run into this before???
Have I actually got ST205 seats? They are factory toyota seats and they do have "Celica" embossed on the front of them.
I had a little look at the mount points where the seat rear and back cashions are bolt to the rails and they are different. Is it possible to swap the rails?
