1971 Mustang Grande
She is named Victoria and sports a 302 with a C4.
hi all, i am at the point of selecting new upholestry for the mustang. she is a coupe and i would like something a little more fancy than the original grande deluxe interior upholestry. i have checked out the tmi mach one kits for coupes and have just never been a big fan of the design. i really like the 1969 mach one interior and am curious to know if anyone has tried to fir the tmi seat foams for a 69 on a 71 seat frame. also would like to know if the rear seat upholestry for a 69 would fit a 71. i added some links at the bottom to give you an idea of the sets i am looking at. the associated seat foams for the kits are in a link under the upholestry color selector on the right of each page. i sent tmi an email, but never heard back from them. any and all help is appreciated. Thanks!

here is 71 seat set, just not very attractive to me at all.

I have a set of 69 Mach 1 seats (frnt) that need recovered. I also really liked the 69 interior and bought them thinking one day I'd put them in. Well, that was one day. I just bought a set of 72 Mach 1 fronts that I am going to restore and put in. The 69's mount to the floor differently and some pan mods are needed. It's been too long to tell you what that difference is but if your interested in the seats I'd take some pict's if you want.

 
It would be easiest to mount '69 seats while using 1 2 3 brackets. You will have to drill two holes in each seat frame. They are not the same. The upholstery is different but I can not say how much.

Since you have both sets of seat frames, could you measure the dimensions of them and let me know how close or not they are? It would help a ton!
