Alternate Seats

Just looking for some ideas to use seats other than the factory low back ones, I have a set of low backs but the passenger side seat has no tilt lever, so the seat back just flops around, not good in my eyes. The main reason for alternate seats is I am finding it rather hard to get some factory High Back seats as I much prefer these over the factory low backs, way better neck and back support. Any ideas or does anyone have a set of High Backs they would like to part with?

    Good luck with high backs ad I have been chasing a pair for years . I have ended up grabbing a pair of escort mk 1 which will re trim in capri trim . The only difference is a bit higher at front. The concourse guys MIGHT pick it but I doubt it.

    The only thing that beats HORSEPOWER is TORQUE.

    There is a set of high backs on ebay now in Sydney.  For some reason I cant paste the link in here but just do a search on there and they'll come up

    Scott, I've just put a pair of Nissan 200SX high backs into my '81 Mercury Capri, as the original seat backs were bent badly, and they look and feel great too. You can find these on e-bay fairly regularly for around the $150-$250 mark.

    Current ride:
    '83 Mk.3 Capri, 2.8i, 5-spd
