Question interior

I have a set of 69 bucket seats and would like to put the houdstooth covers from 71-72 on them.....do they work on a 69 seat or do I have to have the foam from a 71-72 to make them look right?

Re: interior

No they won't fit right, you will have to change the buns. They are shaped differently and they won't fit the buns correctly. The 69-70 seams for the center part (insert) angle outward and the 71-72 seams are straight. It's hard to explain but there was a photo floating around here showing the differences. I think it's in the FAQ. I want to do the same thing to mine one of these days. My seats are out of a 69 but I want to put the 72 upholstery on them as well.
